## Resource

Have you ever left a meeting thinking: everyone talked, but nothing was achieved? Chances are that people were listening to each other, just not in the same way. Listening experts Maegan Stephens and Nicole Lowenbraun unpack the four different ways to listen, sharing a practical framework that could change how you respond, build trust and get results — starting with just one simple question. After the talk, Modupe reflects on a powerful tool that goes beyond reading the room. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
