Active Listening Is Your Leadership Superpower with Heather Younger

Nicole M. Bianchi Episode 27

Most leaders think they’re great listeners—until they realize they’re missing the most critical step. 

In this episode of the Small Brave Moves podcast, I am joined by leadership expert Heather Younger to break down the 5-step framework for active listening that transforms team trust, communication, and engagement.

Heather shares why active listening is a superpower every leader needs, how most of us are doing it wrong, and most importantly—how to do it right.

We’ll dive into:
✅ How to truly listen—not just hear—what your team is saying
✅ The #1 mistake leaders make when trying to connect with employees
✅ Why small, consistent actions matter more than grand gestures
✅ How to use active listening to navigate tough conversations with confidence 

If you want to lead with more clarity, confidence, and connection—this episode is a must-listen.
