Leadership Torque | Colin Smith: The Listener S1E18
His primary contribution as The Listener covers three areas, Survive, Dive and Thrive.
Survive: through creating a safe, trusting space to meet, and by giving people his full attention, eye contact, and not interrupting, offers people the opportunity to share whatever is present for them at that time, which could be concerns, feelings, ideas, challenges, etc.
Dive: listening and attention enable others to access their deepest, most creative, original thinking and to continue to stay in flow with that thinking.
Thrive: enables people to learn how to be more present and to listen more deeply and fully with their colleagues, friends, and loved ones, especially their children, and to make a real difference to both you and their lives.
Through Colin's varied background, view of the world, and his inquisitive and curious mind, he is able to share unusual, thought-provoking, disruptive, yet grounded observations and alternative approaches to business, people, systems, and change.
