All smiles in the studio today as we add to our listening audience. Starting on Valentine’s Day we will add more listeners in Michigan and Louisiana with two terrific stations.

Let’s give some love to KFXZ 1520 AM & KLCJ 104.1 FM in Lafayette, Louisiana and WMIC 660 AM in Sandusky, Michigan.

Time flies when you are having fun and I am proud to say that thanks to you the listeners the show has been nationally syndicated for 15 years. We have added some cool new features like Man Cave for everything sports related and Everybody has a Story, What’s Your’s? That segment focuses on conversations with Authors from around the world. You never know who you will meet and what you will learn.

 

Are you a good listener? The dirty little secret, according to the National Journal is we hear about 450 words per minute and a real good listener only remembers 25% of what is being said. It certainly explains why the Hubs can never find anything in the Fridge. I am making him a map but that’s a story for another day.

We all need people to hear us. Stress, uncertainty, and isolation have become the norm thanks to the 2020 Pandemic. Are you craving real connection? Frustrated because nobody is paying attention? Listening to people through my radio show and speaking career it is crystal clear that too many feel unheard.

I am inviting you to be a part of my Influential listening movement. Here are four simple habits to develop to put you on the path to becoming an influential listener.

Be Present

Do not Interrupt

Ask clarifying questions after the person is through talking

Put away distractions especially the electronic devices you are not using for the conversation
