Masterful Listening
Welcome to Masterful Listening, the world's first super rad listening school.
Every episode is an opportunity to practice listening—or as your host Svetlana (AKA Svet) calls it, Masterful Listening.
According to Svet, listening is the most important skill most of us are never taught. Until now.
Love epic stories? Laughing while you learn? A healthy dose of profound wisdom with just a hint of profanity? Perfect.
Every episode is part story, part lesson, and part listening practice. Svet teaches listening by doing what she does best: telling stories, asking better questions, and helping you hear what you've been missing all along. The fun part? Many of the lessons are hidden in plain sight. You'll only catch them if you're actually listening.
Svet is also mildly obsessed with mantras. She invents them, paints them on things, occasionally tattoos them on herself, and somehow keeps coming up with new ones.
As a certified executive coach, facilitator, and Mental Wealth advocate, Svet has spent more than 17 years helping people think better, listen deeper, and rewrite the stories that shape their lives. She's worked with leaders and teams across organizations including Google, Apple, Square, and Asana, but her favorite classroom has always been real life.
Whether you're here to become a better listener, a better leader, or simply a more conscious human, grab a seat.
Class is in session.
