Wisdom in Listening

All entrepreneurs have powerful stories to tell and are often compelling story-tellers. In fact, story-telling is so important to business success that we recently interviewed Chris Carder, Thindata 1:1′s President on how to use story-telling to close business deals, build stronger relationships and inspire your teams.

But, what typically catapults entrepreneurs to achieve and sustain success is the less glamorous part of story-telling: the ability to listen. And, that means the ability to listen to the market, listen to clients, listen to advisors and listen to colleagues/employees.

As evidence of the importance of listening for entrepreneurs, for BusinessCast #163, we interviewed Evan Thompson, Managing Director at Thompson Wiley & Associates. His company has thrived because of its ability to actively listen to key stakeholders as well as help their clients listen better.

Evan shares some of his many critical business insights. Listen to BusinesCast #163 and benefit from the wisdom found in listening.
