Great for my team's professional development!

Alex C.

Using Kai's Breakthrough Listening as professional development has been great for my team and me -- it's something that's impactful across all of our functions.

From distractions to new focus!

Kat W.

It was interesting to me to realize how many distractions we have without noticing when we are trying to listen. I have been trying to be more conscientious during meetings. I take a lot of notes in meetings, but I am trying to view how the person I am listening to perceives me in the process.

Ego-squashing leads to the best ideas!

Nate B.

I approached the meeting with the belief that the other participants had goals that were just as important as mine and ideas that were just as good as mine, and I tried to use my own skills to develop and promote their ideas and perspectives rather than my own. Listening here provides the opportunity to find the best ideas and come to the best decisions, even if they’re not the ones I would have supported from the outset. It requires a bit of ego-squashing, however, to truly believe that the best ideas in the room might be coming from someone else.

Packed and organized training!

Jim M.

Great class Kai, you do cover lots of content in a short time. Thanks for being so organized.
