Manage episode 440452918 series 2939942
Leaders who can articulate their thoughts grab attention. Leaders who can articulate their hearts create impact and connect hearts. Both of which are much needed in today’s world. Building that skill is not about talking - the real secret is the effort those powerful leaders put into listening.
Listening to what’s being said behind someone’s words.
