  • Improve the performance of your teams
  • Give all your relationships new life (business & personal)
  • Get more done

In this presentation for the Financial Executives Networking Group on April 8th, I'll be providing an introduction to why listening is so important, and some easy steps to take to improve listening skills right away.

This event is not open to the public, however, if you'd like to find out how we can customize our listening programs for your organization, please Contact Us
