Todos hablan, nadie escucha | David Vandermolen | TEDxMacatawa

Anecdoche es la palabra para una conversación en la que todos hablan y nadie escucha. En esta charla de TEDxMacatawa, David VanderMolen explica por qué cuesta tanto escuchar de verdad y repasa cinco conductas que ayudan a superar el ruido. Sostiene que escuchar es una habilidad de poder, no una habilidad blanda, y que se puede aprender. Su experiencia incluye décadas enseñando escucha y el currículo de liderazgo que ayudó a crear en Barry-Wehmiller.

There’s a word for a conversation where everyone talks and nobody listens: anecdoche. Drawing on decades of teaching listening and his own unlikely journey to learning it, David VanderMolen explains why we struggle to truly listen and walks through five behaviors that cut through the noise. Listening, he argues, isn’t a soft skill. It’s a power skill. Most leadership training teaches you how to command a room. David VanderMolen teaches you how to go quiet in one. As a Learning Sensei at Barry-Wehmiller, he co-founded the company’s university and created a leadership and listening curriculum taught in five languages worldwide, reaching over 14,000 people. It’s still being taught. He continues that work at Inspired 2 Change, the West Michigan change agency he founded, built on one idea: changed people change companies. He’s spent 35 years proving that listening—the skill everyone assumes is intuitive and passive—is learned, and it’s the most active thing a leader does.
