For leaders and professionals, success isn’t just about what you achieve — it’s about the relationships that sustain you. And yet, in a world of constant noise, one skill often gets overlooked: listening.

Robert introduces the concept of Radical Listening, a way of engaging that goes beyond active listening and creates deeper trust and connection. 

From rediscovering creativity in midlife to navigating parenting in a tech-driven world, Robert shares insights that challenge how we think about communication, connection, and true success. 

If you’ve ever felt that relationships are your greatest asset — at work or at home — this conversation will change how you listen.
