• Do you feel like people listen when you talk?

• Do you listen when people talk to you?

• Perhaps your listening style is finishing people’s sentences for them, or worrying about what you’re going to say in response?

I read a blog post recently that was tremendously inspiring. The post was written by Lou Hampton at Speak to Lead. The story was titled, Michael Deaver – The Great Listener. What a powerful testimony for EMPOWERED LISTENING and BEING HEARD.

I’ve had the great fortune in my coaching career of studying, mentoring and training with a Master Coach of Listening, Dr. Carol McCall of the Institute for Global Listening and Communication. Dr. Carol’s life work and mission is to strengthen relationships one conversation at a time using The 9 Tools of Empowered Listening.

Are you AWARE of how you LISTEN? Get to know YOUR listening style. Learn what PUSHES your BUTTONS and BREAKS down COMMUNICATION in your relationships and life.

Be sure and tell Dr. CMC, The Rebel Belle sent ya to be heard!

Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force… When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand. Dr. Karl Menniger
