Episode 10: How to be an Effective Active Listener featuring Simon Kardynal

When you’re talking to a colleague, a friend, or your boss, how often do you find yourself cut-off just at the end of your sentence? How often have you seen the person with their mouth open, hands raised, just chomping at the bit to speak? Now, how often have you not felt truly heard by these people, felt rushed or misunderstood and felt as though you didn’t have the voice you would have wanted?

In this episode, we will be talking about the invaluable art of active listening. We will discuss what it means to be an active listener versus a passive listener, and we will talk about why active listening is so crucial for leaders. And finally, we round out the episode with some ways to help all emerging leaders be the very best active listeners that they want to become.
