Listen

Listening is a superpower –

Here’s how you can get it:

We talk about communication skills…

But forget that listening
is communication.

The best leaders aren’t the loudest.

They’re the ones who listen the most.

True listening is how trust is built.

It’s how teams feel seen, heard, and valued.

Poor listening leads to:

🔻 High turnover
🔻 Lower team morale
🔻 Missed opportunities
🔻 Lack of accountability
🔻 Damaged relationships
🔻 Wasted time and energy
🔻 Decreased motivation
🔻 Unclear expectations
🔻 Repeated mistakes
🔻 Frustrated teams

The solution?

Learn to truly LISTEN:

🔹 L-earn
🔹 I-nterpret
🔹 S-upport
🔹 T-une in
🔹 E-mpathize
🔹 N-urture

And use the HURIER model by Dr. Judi Brownell:

👂 Hearing
🧠 Understanding
📝 Remembering
🔍 Interpreting
📊 Evaluating
💬 Responding

Real listening isn’t about staying quiet.

It’s about being fully present,
with the intent to understand.

Top leaders listen more.

They speak last, not first.

They want to learn, not win.
