The 7 Steps to Becoming a Better Listener On this episode we're learning how to be a better listener with Kevin Curtis, the Director of Crisis Services with the University of Utah Neuropsychiatric Institute.
It took years of experience at his job as an ER physician to learn how to listen out of necessity. Troy on the other hand feels like he's a pretty good listener, but he didn't used to be. He doesn't feel he's a very good listener and constantly tries to solve other people's problems rather than listening. He feels his upbringing and culture has led him to be very uncomfortable talking about difficult things with other people and opening up. Scot is the son of western South Dakota rancher who grew up mostly an only child. How would you rate yourself when it comes to your listening skills?
