The Art of Listening | Simon Sinek

Listening is more than the act of hearing. It's creating an environment in which the other person FEELS heard. If we truly listen to someone else's perspective, we can gain understanding and engage in more meaningful dialogue. White Right: Meeting the Enemy (award-winning documentary by Deeyah Khan): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fO7mMR-ND8 Recorded at Medtronic Leadership Lab Cultural Circle, September 2021. + + + Simon is an unshakable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together. Described as ā€œa visionary thinker with a rare intellect,ā€ Simon has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist; a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do. Simon is the author of multiple best-selling books including Start With Why, Leaders Eat Last, Together is Better, and The Infinite Game. + + + Website: http://simonsinek.com/ Live Online Classes: http://simonsinek.com/inspireU Podcast: http://apple.co/simonsinek Instagram: https://instagram.com/simonsinek/ Linkedin: https://linkedin.com/in/simonsinek/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/simonsinek Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/simonsinek Simonā€™s books: The Infinite Game: https://simonsinek.com/product/the-in...

— Dan Silvestre
