Summary

Welcome to the first episode of Coaching for Leaders. Why I’m starting this show:

A bit of background about me
How my doctoral dissertation got me thinking about the importance for leaders to focus on themselves
One thing I’ve learned for sure: leaders can make a big difference in the lives of others if they take a little time to make a difference in themselves
Why I care about this
Lots of resources coming – articles/blogs/Q&A/guests/authors/books/my own perspective

Powerful Listening

Audio exercise – part 1
What did you hear? It sounds a lot like a lot of our work lives.
Audio exercise – part 2

Four Listening Levels:

Pretend
Partial
Present
Powerful

You can’t listen powerfully all the time – but you need to at least some of the time.

Good listening is important work for a leader…just an important (if not more so) than “normal work”
