Designing an online course to help leaders become better listeners

Quick summary

Beth overcame perfectionism to take bold action on her mission. Armed with new speaking skills and structure, she's now designing an online course to help leaders become better listeners—bringing her book's insights to those who need them most.

I wanted the structure for developing great talks and the key components of professional speaking.

I know I have the structure and resources to use as I move forward. I have been inspired to take more action in areas where I've historically been cautious and prone to perfectionism. Taking action helps force the acquisition of skills.

I am designing an online course to educate and coach leaders to become better listeners. I wrote The Power of Listening for Leaders, and now I want to get that information into the hands of the people who need it. I want to have an impact, and speaking is the next venue to serve leaders who need it!
