Changing the Paradigm from Telling to Listening to Navigate Business Growth

Congrats, your business is growing! But with any fast-growing company also come a host of new challenges and navigating this unchartered territory can be tricky. Successful business leaders know that being a great communicator is an imperative as their business grows. Unfortunately, communication efforts are typically focused on what is said, when the real superpower of communication is listening, not telling. Since as much as 80% of a leader’s time is spent listening to uncover insights from their teams, customers, consultants, and investors to make critical decisions, shifting the communication paradigm from telling to listening is key. Learning this underdeveloped skill is critical to being an amazing communicator and leader so that you can successfully tackle the challenges in your growing business. 

Join Listening Guide Christine Miles for an interactive workshop on how to transform the way we listen so that we can lead, sell, and grow more successfully. Christine will share an overview of her Listening Path® system that allows you to uncover the true needs of your clients, customers, employees, and colleagues so you can address them effectively. Participants will walk away from this dynamic workshop with a deeper understanding of what it is costing them not to listen, how to listen to truly understand, and how to cultivate cultures of empathy and understanding at their organizations to help reach their goals.

Her approach has been taught at Fortune 100 corporations, schools and universities, law firms, and privately-held companies nationwide.
