Stop replying, Start listening for better connection and relationships | Guy Rands | TEDxWarrington

Описание: Guy’s talk asks whether, in a world overflowing with noise, yet starved of connection, the key to transforming relationships lies in how we listen. He invites audiences to cross the space between speaker and listener, uncovering what happens when we resist the urge to reply and instead choose to listen deeply. Through practical insights and reflection, Guy challenges us to examine our own listening habits and recognise the power of genuine attention. Prepare to have a renewed understanding of listening as a radical act and a practical tool for deepening connection.
