Episode Synopsis

Ever catch yourself “listening” but really just waiting for your turn to talk? Or maybe you jump in with advice before the other person even finishes? We’ve all been there. In this episode, Rosie flips the script on how we think about listening and challenges us to trade quick fixes and snap judgments for something deeper: listening with a spirit of service. 💡 Instead of making conversations about us, whether through commiserating, tuning out, or problem-solving, Rosie shows how we can quiet our inner dialogue and truly tune in. When we listen this way, complaints transform into clues about unmet goals, people feel genuinely seen, and connection grows stronger. Listening isn’t just a skill, it’s a superpower that helps others shine and helps us build more meaningful relationships. ✨   Additional Resources: Connect with Rosie on LinkedIn Learn more about Salveo Partners Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network   Key Takeaways: Default listening modes often focus on ourselves.
