Graham Bodie /// Ears Open, Sound Off /// Season2:E077 More In Common

How do you listen? Did you know there are at least 43 different ways people listen? The ways we listen affect how we ask questions, how we connect, how we solve problems, and impact everything we do daily.
Graham has dedicated his life understanding and teaching how we all listen. 
Listen in and you will learn about the patterns of listening and, perhaps, identify some of your own.
