The Impact of Listening

Have you ever noticed how some voices make you lean in closer, hanging onto every word? Maybe it’s the way they pause. The tone. The rhythm. Or how a foreign language—even if you don’t understand it—makes your ears perk up, your brain scrambling to decode it. Perhaps it’s an unexpected accent that instantly softens you, sharpens your focus, or stirs a smile. Listening isn’t just about the words—it’s about how they’re delivered, how they make you feel, and whether they invite you in.

Have you ever watched rock climbers making their way up a rock wall? They rarely move in a straight line. They often pause to plan their next step, searching for that crucial grip or toehold to get them closer to the top.

But just like rock climbing, the real challenge—and the real journey—begins once the initial thrill fades and you're navigating the "messy middle."

Less Hustle, More Heart

As we close out the year, it's that time when survey results pour in, statistics on burnout flash across screens, and organisations nod in agreement about the importance of employee wellbeing.

So, let's cut to the chase: what are the trends saying, and where’s the real opportunity for companies to stand out?

Employee Experience

Off-boarding, Advocacy & Embedding EX

Reputation, a crucial social currency, often dictates how individuals are perceived within their communities. When it takes a hit, people often react like cats in a thunderstorm, all fluffed up and defensive. Psychology shows we tend to cling to our haloed image, scrambling to smooth over the cracks. It's cognitive dissonance in action—our brains hate the idea of others seeing us as less than perfect. To bounce back, we might throw in a charm offensive, tossing out heartfelt apologies or rallying our mates to vouch for us.
