Need to get through to someone today? Try listening

How many conversations today will you try to get through to: customers, clients, employees, colleagues, bosses, directors, managers, vendors not to mention spouses, children, parents, friends and of course yourself?

Probably a more appropriate question would be, how many conversations will you have today where you are not trying to get through to someone? The answer. Probably few.

And after you get through, what next? How often do they change what they’re doing in a positive direction for both them and you?  What would be the effect on your and their productivity if they did?
The secret to this is not what you tell people.  It’s what you enable them to tell you that is critically important to them, that you listen to and care about, and then help them with.

Mark Goulston, M.D. is a business advisor, consultant, trainer and coach trained as a clinical psychiatrist who honed his skills as an FBI/police hostage negotiation trainer who increases people’s ability to get through to anyone.  He is the author of the recently published and Amazon.com best selling book, “Just Listen” Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone (AMACOM, $24.95).

Have you ever been at a point in your life when you just didn’t think you could take it anymore, when you’re ready to give up or give in, or when you just don’t have the strength to deal with the challenges?

As Lynne Klippel sat in the sun on her front porch in March 2009, she wished she had a book to send to her brother to read during his chemotherapy treatments – something to remind him that he was not alone and to encourage him to fight for his life. It was a heart-wrenching time when three members of her immediate family all had cancer at the same time, along with a dear friend. Furthermore, she says, “It seemed like everywhere I looked, I saw tragedy. Other friends were losing jobs and fearful about the prospects of finding new work. The evening news was full of financial scandals, plant closings, kidnappings, and war. I wanted a book that could also give them hope, inspiration, and encouragement on every page!”

Klippel gathered the first person accounts of 38 people who faced tremendous personal tribulations, and then turned them into triumphs–thanks to their persistence, strength and faith. The result was the remarkable Overcomers, Inc, True Stories of Hope, Courage and Inspiration. This Amazon.com #1 bestseller features the extraordinary first-person accounts of 38 inspirational people who relate their empowering stories of triumph-over-adversity, providing a roadmap to others on how to navigate from the darkness to peace, abundance, success and light.

Patricia Spadaro skillfully guides us through one of the key paradoxes—and stressors—of our time: how to balance what others need with what we need, how to give and to receive.

Should I sacrifice for others or give to myself? Be generous or draw boundaries? Stay in a relationship or say goodbye? Tensions like these are not only a natural part of life—theyare life.

While modern society is ill-equipped to bring us back into balance, the sages of East and West are experts, and Honor Yourself explores their practical, and surprising, advice. Combining wisdom from around the world with real-life stories and a treasury of tools, it exposes the most potent myths about giving—half-truths that prevent us from living a life filled with possibility and passion. With candor, compassion, and a bit of humor too, Spadaro shows us how to move beyond the myths to the magic of full-hearted living so we can unleash the full power of our creative spirit and give our greatest gifts to our loved ones, our communities, and the world.

Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses — and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person “being” a genius, all of us “have” a genius. It’s a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.
