Habit #11: Listen To Understand

Many people say, "Yeah, I'm a good listener." But are you listening until you see an opportunity to jump in and say something brilliant? Or are you really listening to understand? This habit focuses on levelling up one of your biggest superpowers: your curiosity! Leaders around the world identify curiosity and active listening as the most important skills to cultivate if you want to learn, grow, and be sought-after in any industry. So, no matter your job role, you will see more opportunities and have greater impact if you become a more effective listener. Join us to learn how.

In both your professional and personal life, people can sense when you're not "all in" on the conversation. When you rely on assumptions to understand people or solve problems, you often solve the wrong problems, wasting time and diminishing trust.
