Secrets of Listening

Many of us struggle to truly listen. This leads to widespread ineffective communication, costing companies billions. Julian explores this simple but widely undervalued skill that each of us can use to improve our trust-based relationships, leadership, sales skills – and thus our happiness, effectiveness and well-being.

The Listening Organisation

Research shows that most organisations are abject at listening, and the cost is huge: lost loyalty in staff and customers, lost sales, reduced morale, and more frequent crises and conflicts. Julian shows how to avoid the threats to organisational listening, and reveals the skills and tools leaders and managers can deploy in order to create a listening organisation with enhanced success and well-being.

How to Speak so that People Want to Listen

Have you ever felt like you’re talking, but nobody is listening? Julian unpacks the secrets of powerful speaking — from designing great content to vocal exercises and tips on building rapport – including a public speaking masterclass from this five-time TED speaker.

Sound Affects!

Julian transforms the audience’s relationship with sound by demonstrating how it affects everything from our heart-rate to our thinking and behaviour. He explores the wonders of sound in a grand tour from the birth of the universe to snapping shrimps and office noise to discover how we can use the right sound to lead healthier, happier lives.

Sound Business

Most business sound is accidental, incongruent and even hostile. As founder of one of the world’s leading audio branding companies, Julian uses first-hand case studies to showcase the power of intentional, designed sound to increase sales, customer satisfaction, and brand recognition. He also describes the coming audio revolution and its implications for marketers and the radio industry.

Designing with Our Ears

Did you know that the wrong sound can degrade productivity by up to two thirds? Julianmexplores the hidden ‘aural architecture’ of important spaces such as offices, hospitals and schools. He reveals the four simple steps needed to design spaces that enhance rather than degrade effectiveness and well-being.

Training/Consultancy Workshops

Julian tailors workshops and coaching to fit the exact needs of each client. The topics are usually powerful speaking and/or conscious listening. Workshops typically comprise a series of 90- minute sessions. These can take place in intensive format (one day / four sessions, or two days / eight sessions), or the sessions can be spread over a period of days or weeks. In-person work is usually in the intensive format to reduce travel time and cost.

Workshops include many practical exercises that are designed to embed the practices in delegates’ neurology. A follow-up Q&A session some weeks afterwards is recommended to cement the learnings.

Coaching is typically virtual, carried out in a series of one-hour sessions, individually designed after an initial half-hour briefing session.

Consultancy can cover many areas: audio branding, organisational listening, acoustic design, noise control, telephone sound, soundscaping and more, all drawn from Julian’s 20+ years of experience with sound and listening.
