To do that we need to know how to listen. Christine's approach is both brilliant and simple." - Ann Hook, COO, SolomonEdwards "Christine has positively changed my behavior and ability to listen more than I talk. My wife has noticed a significant change in my patience; I focus on what she is saying, and only reply after she is done talking with positive comments and an acknowledgment that I did, in fact, not only hear her but listened. I highly recommend taking the time to read her book and have her as a guest speaker because she gets everyone involved." - Kevin Nally, CIO, US Secret Service "Nobody, nobody understands as well as Christine. Coupled with Christine's ability to understand the human condition is her intuitive understanding of business. How do I know? Together, we created the number-one business radio show in the country and have interviewed 10,000+ CEOs. These CEOs have repeatedly told me that Christine is 'incredible, ' and they often have engaged Christine's counsel-and most important, continue to engage Christine's counsel. She is a force of nature. If you're fortunate, you'll get a dose of Christine." - Herb Cohen, CEO, Executive Leaders Radio "We are so fortunate to have had Christine Miles speak to our business students several times, sharing her amazing life lessons, many of which demonstrate the art and power of being a tuned-in listener. Her new book is a must read for people from all walks of life, and one I intend to get into the hands of as many of our students as possible." - Sue Lehrman, Dean, Rohrer College of Business, Rowan University "I had the opportunity to have Christine work with my team on how to more effectively show up for their customers. Christine's ability to break down the listening process and give tools to effectively engage with people to gain true understanding is an invaluable skill in business and in life. I am so happy she decided to write this book and share her insight on a broader scale." - Michael O'Donnell, National Vice President - Utilities, SAP North Amer
