If you listened last week you know the answer.
This episode is actually part two of our series on the Art of Listening. If you missed the show, go back and check out part one to hear what you missed!
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.
In the last conversation, we made the case for why listening is so important from a monetary perspective and a human physiology perspective. In today’s show, we cut to the chase and drive straight into how to be a better listener.
If you can, listen to this episode with a pen and paper or open a new note on your phone. We share easy and practical ways to get better at listening, how to upgrade your communication skills and more. You will definitely want to take notes!
You’ll also hear the conclusion to this series, how Chris observes celebrities to grow in charisma and influence, what we have learned from our favorite interviewers, and more.
