How to Listen Like a Dog

Описание: Most people can only name 2-3 people in their entire life who have truly listened to them. That's not a communication problem — it's a leadership crisis.

In this episode, DoorTwo Principal Anna Baldwin breaks down why dogs are better listeners than most leaders, and what that means for your relationships, your team, and your influence.

Anna draws on 20+ years of leadership experience — from leading Verizon Wireless teams to top 1% nationally to serving as COO at two companies — to share a framework she's been teaching in DoorTwo workshops for years. The concept is simple: dogs don't interrupt, they don't one-up, and they listen with their whole body. Most humans can't say the same.

This episode covers why listening is the most underdeveloped leadership skill, what "whole body listening" actually looks like, why "yes, and" beats "yes, but" in every conversation, and a Gallup finding that changes how you think about your time with your team.
