Welcome back to another inspiring episode of Pivot with Passion! I'm your host, Penny Casselman, and today we're diving into a topic that resonates deeply with each of us: the power of listening. But first, let me share a quick update on my birthday celebrations and the joy of gathering with close friends. As we lift our spirits with chatter and cheers, it got me thinking about the art of truly hearing one another.
In this episode, we explore how listening is a beautiful gift we can offer freely, and transform all our interactions. We discuss common barriers to effective listening such as technology distractions, discomfort, self-centeredness, and the assumptions we carry. To combat these barriers, we'll introduce techniques that can enhance your listening skills and deepen your connections.
And as a special treat, I’ll share a unique drink recipe, the intriguing 'Spaghett,' which promises to tickle your taste buds while we delve into profound ideas from Warren Buffett on making personal investments.
So grab your beverage of choice, and let's learn to pivot with more passion by mastering the art of listening!
