This episode is full of great tips and wisdom from longtime c-suite executive Trish Stadler. We also have an honest conversation about dealing with tragedy in the office. I’m grateful to Trish for sharing the unfortunate story of losing her executive and dealing with the grief and loss. I’m hopeful this episode will be a comfort to those experiencing loss in their lives, and a reminder that we’re not alone in our grief.

We hear a lot about Emotional Intelligence these days, but what about Listening Intelligence? This week's episode will help you re-think how you listen to others, and how they listen (or don't) to you. Dave Momper is a certified listening practitioner who helps executives build productive and innovative teams fueled by trust and confidence. In this episode, David and I talk about the practice of listening, six common things that make listening challenging, how listening intelligence interacts with emotional intelligence, and why it's important for assistants to know what their executive's listening style is.
