Deep Listening - Impact beyond words - Oscar Trimboli
The world is a noisy place where you fight to be heard every day. Despite the fact that we have been taught at home and at school how to speak, none of us has had any training in how to listen. Multiple academic studies have shown that between 50% and 55% of your working day is spent listening, yet only 2% of people have been trained in how to listen. We feel frustrated, isolated and confused because we aren't heard. As a speaker, it takes absolutely no training to notice when someone isn't listening - they're distracted, they interrupt or drift away as you talk. Yet the opposite is also true, without any training in how to listen we struggle to stay connected with the speaker and the discussion. This results in unproductive workplaces where people fight to be heard and need to repeat themselves constantly, send emails to confirm what they said and then have follow-up meetings to ensure what was said was actually heard by those in the meeting. It's a downward spiral that drains energy from every conversation and reduces the productivity of organisations. This podcast is about creating practical tips and techniques to improve your daily listening. Listen for free
If everyone could listen more…

I am a bit obsessed with the fact that listening well to others is so powerful, not particularly difficult but so rare. Oscar’s podcast brings the topic to life, with interviews, examples and theory it can appeal to everyone no matter their background. I’m an Internal Coach and Listening Volunteer for Samaritans whilst my daughter is and secondary school and we both learn from, and enjoy, Listening Beyond Words. With front line experience, I can confirm that many people facing personal challenges do not feel heard, even by their closest friends and family. Simply being allowed to voice and share what they’re feeling with someone who show’s curiosity and wont judge can be life saving - just listen to the Kevin Briggs episode! And if you’re a professional business listener then the Prof. David Clutterbuck episode is a game changer! Thank you Oscar for making this podcast available, we need to share it with the world! Updated review Oct 2033… I have just listened yet another beautiful discussion, with Dr Naineni who articulated such a human centred approach to his relationships which is really important in todays world where many people aren’t feeling heard. What did I take away? A reminder to stay present to the speakers narrative, and not my subconscious agenda. I have a brightly coloured sparkly bird broach next to my camera for virtual listening - it reminds me of the birds in Aldous Huxleys The Island where coloured birds were trained to shout “attention” and “here and now” to keep the Islands residents present. He also reminded me of the importance of demonstrating the importance you place on the speaker by welcoming them and not rushing them, the speed of the walk into his office really resonated with me as it’s so easy to carry your own rushing over into a conversation. Really great job to find someone like Dr Naineni! Thank you
At last, a Podcast that tackles deep listening

So pleased to have discovered this podcast. I’ve been looking for a podcast that tackles listening in a way that I can share with others for a long time. I’m working my way through the back catalogue of episodes and learning so much.
Deep calls unto deep.

There is something uniquely pioneering in what Oscar is inviting the world too. We are wired for connection and deep listening connects like none other. As an executive coach I’ve learnt so much from Impact beyond words. And yet I’m astounded by how easily I listening poorly, especially to those around me. There is a sense impact beyond words is like dipping into the Matrix, I for one will keep popping the red pill. Allison from N.I.
Fantastic

This is a first class pod cast. Working in law enforcement I often get frustrated with distractions , not being listened to and not having time to spend time listening to people . I have now realised that it’s not the job itself responsible for this and now realising that it’s me that has been the issue responsible for these !
