Leadership Starts with Listening - Amplify Your Impact
summary
Concrete claim: focused listening turns people into owners and creates more leaders rather than order followers. The talk teaches a repeatable coaching stack borrowed from Co-Active Coaching used at Procore (about 2,000 employees): three levels of listening (Level 1 inward/distracted, Level 2 attention out, Level 3 body language + environment), simple verbal tools (repeat words, paraphrase, mirror) and to ask "what" questions to surface insight and next steps. Short partner exercises reinforce the techniques and attendees report they make conversations more productive and actionable.
