how to listen - discover the hidden key to better communication - the most comprehensive book about listening in the workplace

If you want to be heard, you need to know how to listen.​

Communication isn’t all about what you say.​

It’s about what you hear, how you react and respond.​

In short: it’s about how you listen.​

And despite the fact that leaders typically spend upwards of eighty percent of their day listening, only two percent of them have ever had training in how to listen effectively.​

At a time when we are more technologically linked than ever, our conversations have never been more fractured and disconnected—because most don’t know how to truly listen.​

The Book cover

how to listen - discover the hidden key to better communication - the most comprehensive book about listening in the workplace

The title and the subtitle of the book are all in lowercase.

Speaking is in UPPERCASE, or Capital Letters, and listening is lowercase.

Uppercase and lowercase are required for written communication, and when it’s spoken, you need to balance Speaking and listening for effective communication.

Each supports the other, and neither will be effective alone.

Upper and lower case have traditions, syntax, and rules.

These rules and traditions support you until you master them.  Once mastered, you can choose or ignore the rules and traditions.
