About the Book
Communication isn't all about what you say. It's also about what you hear, how you react to it, and how you respond. In short: it's about how you listen. At a time when we are more technologically connected than ever, our conversations have never been more fractured and disconnected.
The result? You constantly fight to be "heard" over all the noise and distraction. You feel confused, ignored and frustrated that no one seems to be paying attention to you. At work and at home, conversations leave you feeling drained.
Author, keynote speaker, and executive coach Oscar Trimboli, host of the Apple-award winning podcast Deep Listening, shows you how to unlock your listening superpowers to have more impactful conversations at work and at home. Through exercises, guided reflections, personal stories, and tips, Trimboli shares invaluable insights to help you notice when you aren't listening - and what to do about it.
As you develop your listening skills and master the Listening Compass, you'll not only reduce the chaos, conflict, and confusion in your life, you'll actually spend less time in conversations, because you'll be paying attention to what matters. When you master the art of listening, you'll master the art of communication - and create more powerful connections in all facets of your life.
