About this eBook

Learn to connect, create rapport, develop trust, and build deep relationships.

In this day and age, the art of deep listening is a superpower. If you can make someone feel heard and important, you are on the highway to their heart. And it’s not as difficult or complex as you think.

How to go from stranger to cherished friend in record time.

How to Listen with Intention is ultimately a book about relationships. A relationship must be give-and-take - are you taking more than you are giving? Are you making people feel comfortable opening up to you? Are you listening well, or unwittingly being a conversational/relationship narcissist?
It’s time to ask these difficult questions and learn the skills to not only help people in times of need, but create new friendships with just about anyone -- after all, who doesn’t like to be heard?

Increase your emotional intelligence and people analyzing skills.

Ratings and reviews

Wow, what an incredible book! Just when you think you're a decent listener, you read this book and find out that the art of listening is more complex and indepth then one naturally assumes. I appreciate the authors ability to write a book that is detailed in explanation, supplemental with examples, and condensed in an 100 page read. A job well done.

I wish I read this book when I was 18, my whole life would've been so much better,

very easy to read and actions learned are easy to activate in your daily life.
