There are nine million courses in the world talking about how to be a better speaker. Lots of people will teach you how to say stuff, but no one ever teaches us how to hear what is being said. The truth is, there are very few resources for teaching people how to be a better listener.

And most people don’t know they are bad listeners. Ask anyone, they will say they identify as being a good listener, even if they are busy thinking of what they will say next, or how to respond, or what they might have for dinner that evening, or what’s on TV…

One of the key attributes of being an effective leader and manager is the ability to effectively listen. In this book we discuss exercises, ideas and interviews all compiled around the art and practice of listening. We discuss pitfalls, best practices, and management techniques to build relationships and create happy and productive teams.

Learn from a professional actor and improviser how to use the skills and lessons of acting to effectively listen, connect with empathy and build relationships through the art of listening.

After reading this book, you will be able to confidently say you are a good listener.

So listen up.

From the Publisher

Listening without Agenda

In an era where distraction and division are prevalent, new author Andrew McMasters is proud to announce the upcoming release of their debut book, Listening Without Agenda: Practical steps for Effective Listening.

This insightful and timely book aims to transform the way people engage with one another by honing the often-overlooked skill of active, agenda-free listening.

“Today, many of us approach conversations with a predetermined goal in mind—whether it’s to persuade, react, or defend,” says Andrew McMasters. “Listening Without Agenda is about taking a step back and simply being present for the speaker. When we listen without an agenda, we open the door to understanding, empathy, and real connection.”
