Ep 55: How to Really Listen—and Why It Matters in Leadership, Life, and Everyday Connection

In this solo episode of Leading Below the Surface, LaTonya Wilkins explores one of the most overlooked leadership superpowers: deep, intentional listening. In a world full of fear, anxiety, and change, most leaders are struggling to hear—and be heard.

Drawing from a powerful real-life coaching session, LaTonya introduces two frameworks that will help you lead with empathy and clarity:

• P2P (Person-to-Person) Listening

• P2B (Person-to-Belonging) Listening

Whether you’re leading a team, navigating personal growth, or building trust, this episode will help you tune in, reflect, and create deeper human connection.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why listening is harder—and more essential—than ever

• What fear has to do with our inability to listen

• The difference between P2P and P2B listening

• How to listen with multiple senses

• Real tactics to become a better listener today
