What are you listening to?

No, I'm not talking about Chris Stapleton's song; I'm talking about the noise that comes with change. 

As Jim Hendrix's a famous musician, said, "knowledge speaks, and wisdom listens."

Globally, we share a common theme of change, and naturally, this can make us feel out of tune with our usual beat as we get extra noise from every direction. 

Just like in music, we have to find the tune of our beat, but first, we must understand what are we listening for among the noise? 

Leadership and music have many similarities, including the ability to tune into ourselves and others- through listening.

Something so simple yet often misunderstood and underutilized.

How can we become better listeners and refresh our understanding of this skill in life and work?
