At Community Financial, listening isn’t just polite, it’s a superpower. In this episode of Third Fork, Tansley and Ryan unpack how the art of listening has shaped their leadership, their learning, and their impact.
From sticky note reminders like “WAIT” (Why Am I Talking?) to the importance of clarifying questions, they explore why hearing others, often, matters more than being the loudest voice in the room.
Whether you're a young professional eager to grow or a seasoned expert hoping to stay curious, this episode dives into how to:
· Use listening as a tool for influence
· Ask better questions that peel back the next layer
· Solicit insights from the smartest people in the room
· Show up with novice eyes, even when you’re the subject matter expert
In a noisy world, listening well might be the ultimate competitive advantage.
