Today I want to dive into listening, why it's so difficult, and offer some tips to make it easier to truly hear when you listen.
When you listen to a podcast, for example, your mind probably wanders, or you get distracted by something. Neurologically speaking, our brains can really only do one thing at a time for the most part, but we're great at zoning in and out of multiple activities. You listen to a few words, look at the road ahead, check your mirrors, hear a few more words, and so on. It all happens so fast that we think we're driving and listening when, in fact, we're flitting between the two activities.
Keep listening for some ways to approach listening.

I want to start by addressing trust and why it's so important in your life as a project leader. From CEOs to investors, everywhere I turn, it seems that trust is involved. Trust is tricky. To build trust, we need to get curious and ask a lot of questions.
Today, we're sharing the first episode of our new podcast, Messy but Essential: the people side of project leadership. It's where we help you to improve your soft skills to reduce those hard costs. Because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that people make the difference between a successful project and a failed one. But let's face it, people are messy.
