Shownotes

When was the last time you truly felt heard, without judgment, interruption, or unsolicited advice? 

 

In this episode of The Leader’s Kit Bag, I explore the transformative power of listening. 

 

Drawing on a powerful exercise I ran during a recent leadership programme, I share how simply holding space for someone to speak, without fixing, advising, or interrupting, can lead to deeper self-awareness, clarity, and connection. 

 

You’ll learn: 

  • Why silence can be your most powerful leadership tool 
  • How to resist the urge to "fix" and instead be fully present 
  • What really happens when people feel heard 

 

If you want to lead with more impact and humanity, this episode will give you a simple (but not always easy) practice that can change the way you show up in every conversation.
