Tout le monde parle, personne n'écoute | David Vandermolen | TEDxMacatawa

L'anecdoche désigne une conversation où tout le monde parle et personne n'écoute. Dans cette intervention TEDxMacatawa, David VanderMolen explique pourquoi il est difficile d'écouter vraiment et présente cinq comportements qui permettent de dépasser le bruit ambiant. Selon lui, l'écoute est une compétence de pouvoir plutôt qu'une qualité douce, et elle s'apprend. Il s'appuie sur des décennies d'enseignement de l'écoute, notamment chez Barry-Wehmiller.

• Les difficultés à écouter vraiment
• Cinq comportements pour dépasser le bruit
• L'écoute comme compétence de leadership qui s'apprend

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.
