The Listening Space
Change the way you listen to yourself and you can make better decisions, imagine your future more clearly and take more pleasure in what you do.
Change the way you listen to others and you can understand and connect with them with greater richness and depth, to mutual benefit.
The Listening Space is a structured process that changes the way that you listen. In doing so, it provides valuable new perspectives and solutions for your own life and the lives of others.
Based on the principles of mindful awareness, this simple process uses a specific set of questions, called Clean questions, to help shine a light on the metaphors that you naturally use to describe your experience – describing one thing in terms of another.
This can bring a whole new dimension to your understanding of yourself.
For example, one of my clients chose to explore what ‘concentration’ means for her in a Listening Space session. She is a bank clerk and was making errors whilst cashing up at the end of the day. As a result of being asked this specific set of Clean questions she realised that she needed to construct a metaphoric glass box – 2 to 3 inches thick – all around herself when cashing up. This meant she could see her colleagues, but any sound would be blocked out.
The result of this? Cash errors became a thing of the past. She also used her metaphoric glass box to help her pass her driving theory test after three failed attempts!
This kind of transformational insight happens frequently in a Listening Space session.
