1 Shuai Wang’s Journey from China to Charleston 38:30
408 - Unlocking the Power of Listening for Leaders & Teams with Deb Porter
Manage episode 487028479 series 2101477
In this insightful episode of Nonprofits Today, we’re joined by Deb Porter, founder of HOLD Business Solutions (Hearing Out Life’s Drama) and a champion of active listening as the foundation of all strong relationships—personal or professional.
Deb’s journey started with a Master’s degree in Care & Counseling and personal experiences as a caregiver and divorcee, ultimately leading her to create a practice that helps people be heard in a world that rarely listens. Her approach transforms workplace culture, leadership, and family dynamics alike.
We discuss:
- The CORE Framework for listening (Calm, Outcome, Relate, Empathy)
- Why only 2% of people are ever formally trained in listening
- The biggest communication pitfalls (like jumping into “fix” things)
- How listening skills can build trust and reduce stress in nonprofits
- Her special “party trick” of guessing Myers-Briggs profiles in minutes!
Deb’s Key Message: "We're taught in the American education system how to speak, but we are not taught how to listen until master's level."
