The Listening Path: Unlocking the Hidden Power of Listening with Christine Miles (Pt 1)

Do you really know how to listen—or are you just waiting for your turn to speak?

In this compelling episode of Life = Choices, Choices = Life, Kim Olver sits down with Christine Miles, award-winning author of What Is It Costing You Not to Listen? and founder of The Listening Path, to explore why most of us were never actually taught how to listen—and how that’s impacting our relationships, our leadership, and our lives.

Christine shares how growing up with a mentally ill parent shaped her superpower: listening beneath the surface. From Fortune 100 boardrooms to fifth-grade classrooms, Christine is building a global movement to teach people how to listen to understand—not just hear words.

In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, you'll learn:

• Why only 2% of people have formal listening education
• How listening builds empathy—even if you're not naturally empathetic
• Why “active listening” often falls short
• How our subconscious biases distort what we hear
• And what you can do right now to start listening differently

If you're a coach, parent, leader, therapist, or simply someone who wants to connect better with others, this episode is for you.
