YOU MAY BE HEARING ME - BUT ARE YOU LISTENING?

Motivational Business Keynote

Let's communicate with - not at - one another

A motivational business keynote presentation resource for individuals and organizations committed to improving their communications!

Communication is key to business success. Unfortunately, many equate hearing with listening - and they're not the same. Listening is hearing honed to a fine art. When used, listening can be key to closing a sale, resolving disputes, opening new opportunities and positively impacting your bottom line. Not used, listening can undercut your success potential.

Internationally recognized executive resource, motivational business keynote speaker, storyteller, culture expert, seminar leader, executive mentor, team coach and author Don Andersson shares the insight of his wisdom and his wit in this keynote presentation which uncovers new opportunities for positive results by:

• remaining focused on the concerns of others,
• recognizing what's not said as well as what is,
• realizing what's said isn't always what's meant,
• responding only when it's the right time.

"If you are so intent upon editing a response you can't put in your own words what the other has said - then you haven't listened!"

Don Andersson

Don's presentations are consistently described as:

"Thanks, Don, for making the distinction between hearing and listening. Too many times I've heard but I haven't listened."

"What a great storyteller! Memorable use of experiences to make a lasting impact!"

"Business leadership demands great listening. There is no way I can listen to what someone needs if I just keep repeating what I want to say."

"This business of listening is much more difficult than it seems. It takes real discipline."

"Listening is key to more sales - and I haven't been listening. New opportunities for success await."

"I know you are correct but I haven't learned how to listen for what's not said. That's a real challenge!"
