About my talk

The cost of miscommunication in the digital workplace is enormous – rework, mistrust and duplicated efforts. This result in project overruns in time and cost and frustration with the process of moving from what was asked and what is ultimately delivered.

This talk will explore the power of “deep listening”, showing how it can be applied in the workplace:

• Understand how to listen on a deeper level when you are gathering requirements from your clients and stakeholders.
• 23% of business professionals are trained in speaking, yet only 2% of business professionals are receive formal training in how to listen.
• Learn to hear issues that people aren’t mentioning yet are vital to the success of the project in the digital workplace
• Use the 125/400 rule of listening to have a bigger impact and understand what great listeners do differently.
