Dare to Live Fully: The Power of Listening

In this episode, Helene's guest is Jill Campbell, COO, Cox Communications. Early on, Jill learned the importance of listening from her father. He said, “God gave you one mouth and two ears. There’s a reason for that.” Today she shares her tips on how to hear what’s really going on to get ahead.

On listening as gift…

HELENE: Artful listening goes beyond hearing the words a person is saying, it is about picking up on other cues, such as tone of voice and what’s not being said. Listening is not only good for business, it’s the greatest gift we can give people.

On being aware…

JILL: For me, listening is being completely present in the moment and focused on the person who is speaking, not thinking about what you’re going to say. Discern what they’re trying to tell you and what they’re not saying, so you can draw them out. 

A personal note from Helene…

I think Jill is one of the most amazing leaders. She’s someone who speaks from both the head and the heart. We need more like her.
