The 6 Negative Listening Habits

More often than not, working on listening skills is something people talk about and think about but rarely ever get around to actually improving.

Improving listening skills helps you be a better and more trusted leader, advisor, salesperson, family member, and friend.

"How's it going?" Meetings

One of the most immediate ways you can increase your leadership skills is through real and active listening.

Even if you’ve been a leader for 20 years, most leaders don’t incorporate enough listening in their daily practice with employees.

6 Factors of Assessments

We only use validated and reliable assessments to uncover people's innate, natural talents so we can value their unique strengths, not weaknesses.

This philosophy is how we train others to understand the proper, and ethical, use of assessments through our certification programs for DISC, Motivators, and Acumen sciences.
