FROM THE BOOK JACKET: Unlock the transformative power of Radical Listening--a profound practice that moves beyond simply hearing words to actively co-creating meaning.
Leading experts in Positive Psychology coaching outline six unique competencies that go beyond "active listening skills" to create deep understanding and connection.
In our distracted, divisive world, the transformative power of true listening has never been more essential. Radical Listening is a revolutionary guide to mastering this vital skill from renowned experts Christian van Nieuwerburgh and Robert Biswas-Diener. Moving beyond simply hearing words, their groundbreaking framework teaches you to actively co-create meaning and connection. Though we spend nearly three hours a day on the receiving end of communication, listening is frequently neglected. We're bombarded by data, digital distractions, and a culture that celebrates talkers over listeners. Radical Listening provides the antidote, equipping you with six core competencies:
Noticing
Quieting
Accepting
Acknowledging
Questioning
Interjecting
Whether you're seeking to improve your leadership, foster more collaborative teamwork, or simply connect more meaningfully with others, Radical Listening offers a powerful remedy. Allow this book to reshape how you experience the world and those around you through the revelatory act of listening fully.
