The magic of being listened to

A short audio reflection on the kind of listening that doesn’t fix, advise, or edit and why it might be the most powerful creative tool we all have.

Hey you!

One thing I’ve come back to again and again, in coaching, group spaces, and in my own relationships, is just how powerful it is to be listened to. Not responded to, not advised, not steered. Just heard.

Today’s voice note is about my experience as a coach and as a human being in listening. Where I succeed, where I fail, and why I feel listening is so so important to us all.

Listening creates opportunity to think, feel, process and decide. So by being truly listened to, that’s what’s on offer. And by truly listening to others, you create that opportunity for them whilst putting yourself in a position to really SEE and KNOW that person better.

I hope you enjoy the thoughts that this stirs up in you and that it inspires you to see your conversations through a new lens.

If you are seeing this before 10th July I am inviting you to come along to the listening event talked about in the post below:

UPDATE: This is now FULL. please message or email me if you’d like to be on the waiting list.

With love,
