Full of ideas about a subject we thought we already knew about. Listen to Succeed shows us ways to improve, perhaps to dramatically improve, our listening skills. Shore challenges us to get out of our own way of listening and offers tools for doing that. I am using the ideas to improve both my listening and my speaking skills.
This is a well-organized, easy-to-read book brimming with tools and tips to help us become more successful listeners, even in areas where we didn’t know we weren’t paying attention. Very specific, very helpful, very easy to go back to find the topic you want to think more about.
Leslie is an excellent instructor with a deep knowledge of her subject and engaging delivery. However she does not just impart information to the learner; according to participant feedback a learning experience with Leslie has a depth of insight and self exploration that makes it a transformational event. Though transformation can be a harrowing experience for the learner, Leslie eases participants through a new level of personal development and personal effectiveness.
Leslie’s expertise in the areas of leadership and communication has enabled her to create successful customized training programs that exceed the expectations of our adult learners and our clients.
Her ability to effectively engage each and every student is impressive. It’s a pleasure partnering with Leslie; her positive attitude, confidence and follow through are a real delight!
Leslie Shore is making an important contribution to the art of listening. As she points out, listening is much more than merely hearing. I had the privilege of sitting down with Shore for a New Dimensions Radio interview and found myself captivated by her expertise and knowledge. These challenging times require the skill of listening. Leslie Shore is a superb guide to help us meet that challenge.
