69 – Deep Listening: Not A Soft Skill
While listening is recognised as a ‘soft skill’, I think it is anything but that. It’s hard. To deeply listen to our clients and their needs, wants, dreams and desires it takes a certain level of humility. The humility to pay attention. The humility to see life through their lens.

Customer Reviews
Happy OT Listener
Fantastic interviews with inspiring and effective OT professionals! Definitely give it a listen if you’re a new or seasoned therapist looking to share inspiration or to stoke the fires to love the profession again.
Invaluable!
I can’t tell you how lucky I feel that I found you at the most perfect time- feeling misaligned with OT as I’ve known it the last 17 years and about to abandon the profession all together! Your posts and your podcasts have breathed new life into me! You’ve ignited a new fire and I’m forever grateful. Thank you thank you thank you! ✨🌱🙏🏼
Inspiring
Definitely inspiring; however would love to know what is your payer source -Cash? Insurance? Here in USA only therapists affiliated with insurances can “compete”; cash base practices are possible but very difficult to built when schools offer “free OT”. Would love your input on that. Thanks!
