In this episode of the Podcast I interview Sheryl Andrews about one of the critical skills required by great employers and managers, the ability to listen!
About Sheryl
Author, Speaker and Coach are just a few of the roles she holds. Sheryl has a vision of a world where everyone feels heard, understood and valued. It is her personal mission to change the way the world listens. Listening is one of those skills we are quick to criticise when it is not happening, but few invest in developing their listening skills.
As; “The Listening Detective” with her famous deerstalker hat, she is well known for her fun and engaging talks sharing all aspects of listening, the good; the bad and the sad.
As the Founder of Step by Step Listening and lead coach, she creates a safe to speak environment that gives individuals and groups the opportunity to chat with the purpose of listening to their own inner wisdom.
As an author of Manage your critic – From overwhelm to Clarity in 7 and soon to be published Do< Delegate or Ditch she openly shares her own journey and the journey of her clients to demonstrate how listening can transform your relationship and practical ways to get started. Sheryl continues to write and collate stories to shine the light on those that listen whilst raising awareness and changing the assumption that everyone can and should be able to listen.
