How do CEO’s stay on top? How do athlete’s & coaches enjoy long careers? How do actors & directors continue their film making and theater careers for years to come? How do great teachers reach their students? How do married couples happily stay together? How do sales people stay on top of their game? They all share the ability to effectively listen. Most of us think we are good listeners. Now, be
honest, has this ever happened while you were (supposed to be) listening…day dreaming, fidgety, distracted by a sound, decided the speaker was not as knowledgeable about the subject as you? If you admit the truth and say “yes”, don’t feel badly as all of us have done it. Listen To Succeed points out the pitfalls and culprits that contribute to our not being as effective a listener as we can be and offers how we can dramatically improve this skill. I was born into a family where LISTENING was skilled and practiced as a daily part of my life. As such, and because I was exposed to this skill from childhood, I too became an exceptionally proficient listener. It was as an adult, however, that I identified this skill, understood the enormous influence that it had on my life and those around me, and delved into how the ability to effectively listen really worked. I was determined to share and enlighten others, so I researched, practiced, questioned, soul searched, studied and wrote Listen To Succeed. and its companion, the Listening Effectiveness Profile.
