76. The Art of Listening Part 1

Welcome to the Unlimited Potential Show! Today we are going to cover one of the most underrated skills in 2022… That skill is LISTENING! If you're looking for ways to strengthen your relationship, perhaps you're trying to gain better influence over your team, or maybe you simply want to become a better conversationalist. Whatever your current goals are, this series will definitely help you get there!  It may sound funny to explain listening on a podcast, but we believe that this one episode has the ability to up-level your business, personal relationships, and even the way you speak to yourself and create habits.  Listening and learning how to hear what others are saying is a skill that you would assume would be natural for most humans. However, very rarely can someone say that “listening” was intentionally taught to them in a school setting, a family setting, or even a church setting… The reason is simple. Most people (even our leaders) probably don’t know the importance of listening or even how to do it themselves. Don’t get us wrong…we aren’t pros at the listening and empathy game just yet, but we are actively developing the skill every day. You should too!  Hit play to hear our thoughts on listening, what human Psychology and research has to say about the Art of Listening, the monetary benefits of listening and so much more! This conversation was so powerful we had to split it into two parts. Be sure to listen to the next episode to hear the rest of our conversation!  After listening, let us know what you think! We would love to hear your thoughts. (See what we did there?)
