101. Impact Beyond Words: Grow Your Influence & Authority Through Deep Listening [Interview with Oscar Trimboli]

Whilst most people associate effective communication skills with what and how things are said, not many consider what hasn't been said / how to listen to understand rather than just to respond.  Interesting facts: We spend 55% of our day listening, yet only 2% of people know how to listen.​ We speak at 125 words or minute, we think at 900 words per minute and there’s an 11% chance that what we say is what we mean. Deep listening helps you to listen to the other 775 words that are unspoken.  We cover: 📈 fascinating facts and figures on how listening [or the lack of it] impacts the bottom line 🛠 practical tips, tricks on tools how we can become better listeners [that you can immediately implement] 👂 the art & science of true and deep listening [and how you can become a better listener to increase your influence and impact] 👥 the different types of listeners and how you can best communicate with them 📝 ... and a whole lot more goodness that you have never heard before [pun intended]   Take the Listening Test: Oscar Trimboli is an author, host of the Apple award-winning podcast Deep Listening and a sought-after keynote speaker.
