Really successful women—those who enjoy high performance and experience great peace and joy in their lives— have learned how to become really great listeners.

We’ll also talk about how you can stop your automatic thoughts in the moment so you can listen effectively to those you love. Finally, we’ll discuss how you can use this skill to become the most powerful version of yourself. Pop in those earphones, and we’ll get to work!
