“The more you know about the people you serve, the better you serve the people you know.”

Whenever I am asked to give a presentation to a group, I always take considerable time to get to know my audience. I also find this especially important in the discovery phase of a successful coaching engagement.
Although I have access to many tools and techniques to support their developmental goals, the resources are of little value to those attending my programs who are not seeking or open to what I wish to share.
Many years ago, I learned a concept that makes this point nicely. Simply stated: Speak to their Listening.
EXERCISE:
