Dear Eagles,
This month we are focusing
on Listening as a leadership skill. If you think about it,
the ability to listen and hear accurately is absolutely
necessary for excellent, effective leadership. Not only do
you need to know what is going on, but the people on your team
need to feel they are heard, known, contributing members of the
team.
Another aspect of listening
concerns being responsible for being heard. All too often
"well I said it, it is up to them to hear it" is the attitude
leaders take when communicating. If 85% of communication
is non verbal, perhaps a good question to ask is "what is that
person hearing me say?" If you can begin to shape your
communication to the other persons "listening" your
communication will become exponentially more effective.
Our 1st ever "Speaking
Skills Summit" will take place February 8th and 9th in
Austin, Texas. (Click
HERE to download a flyer) We are SO EXCITED about this
workshop. Lynn Marks, CEO of
London Image Institute and I will be working with a select
group of 15 participants to develop their ability to speak
effectively in front of groups, as well as learn where and how
to use public speaking to develop your practice and become known
in your community.
The course is filling quickly, so
call now if you want to know more about it or to sign up for it.

7 Leadership Lessons
Lesson #3:
Always Practice Active Listening. Ask for Feedback
By: Suzanne Black; President
“You’re not listening!” Ever heard that
complaint? Most of us have. And it is no wonder that many of us
have heard the complaint – contrary to what most of us believe,
listening is very hard work. And, it is essential to excellence
in leadership.
Hailey’s leadership lesson #3 addresses the
importance of listening: Always Practice Active Listening. Ask
for Feedback.
When asked, most people will tell you that
they think they are pretty good listeners. Statistics indicate
otherwise. According to the International Listening Association,
85% of what we learn, we learn through listening, yet we
remember only 20% of what we hear. 75% of the time that we are
listening, we are distracted, preoccupied or forgetful. Fewer
than 2% of us have ever had any formal listening training.

From Mike Black:
I want to share a remarkable resource
with you.
I have known Jocelyn Garner for about a year, both as her coach
and as her student. I have found her to be professional in
every way, yet friendly and available. She is someone I always
learn something from.
Jocelyn offers Weekly Laptop Skills Webinars weekly at no
cost. Recent Topics include:
- Online Project
Management
- XP Shortcuts that
save time and frustration
- Using the Google
Advanced search page
The webinars are one half-hour long, and you can attend either
at Noon Pacific/3 pm Eastern, or at 6 pm Pacific/9 pm Eastern
most every Wednesday. The content for both is identical.
Sign up for the announcement list at
http://www.tooliethetravelguide.com/webinars.html .
I have yet to convince her to record and make
these webinars available anytime, to get the value you must sign up and take them on Wednesdays!
If you take some of her seminars, please let
me know what you think! |
