On a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars, two executives found themselves unable to work together. Similar to the collision of two opposing weather systems creating the perfect storm, their reactivity was threatening the completion of the project to the point where the CEO directed them to work with me. After learning the priciples of Extraordinary Listening they were able to work together effectively completing the project ahead of schedule.
The Power of Extraordinary Listening
For Leaders & Teams
Extraordinary Listening dramatically improves the quality of human interaction. For a team that listens well innovation and competitive edge go off the chart. As we move beyond the information age, success will not be determined by what you know but rather by how fast you learn. Our listening must be better than good, it must be extraordinary. Extraordinary Listening is the shortest distance between information and effective action.
Extraordinary Listening incisively distills the art of communication into simple techniques that change the tone of conversation. Participants gain the ability to apply the skills effectively and immediately. Return on investment is exceedingly high for the time spent and compounds into the future.
Richard is an Extraordinary coach with an inspired unique process.
