“Stop the world, I wanna get off!”

Today’s attention economy is driving us to the edge of our health and well-being. At work, we are busier than ever, yet less and less productive. Interfacing with each other has never been easier in the age of Zoom, etc., but genuinely life-affirming interaction is in decline. We are busier than ever with surface communications but wholly lacking purpose communications. In our private lives, we have disturbing trends such as more loneliness, stressed relationships, and conflicted conversations among friends and family. We chat, like, retweet, and emoji each other’s apps, but we’ve stopped listening to the humans behind them. Fast and furious has replaced ask and curious.

We haven’t lost our voices, we stopped listening to them

Listen Up Coaching is committed to exploring deep under the surface of your work and life experiences - where your heart’s most sincere stories are kept. When we tune into these quieted voices, they will gladly remind you about your abundant resources and capabilities. Once revealed, elevated, and their messages amplified, your future dreams and aspirations will resonate with your own story and personal tone of voice.

Our One Clear Goal:

To help you find your authentic voice and elevate its message. We are on a mission to place your personal resonance at the heart of work, life, and relationships.

So, what have you got to say about that?
