Welcome to the Quick to Listen Podcast
Discover the practical tools and spiritual wisdom you need to heal, grow, and flourish in your life and as a leader.
Meet your host!
As a NPO coach and consultant, I noticed a recurring theme in most of my clients—they knew how to be good to others but didn’t know how to listen or be good to themselves. They struggled to set healthy boundaries and operated out of duty, obligation and shame instead of an overflow of God’s delight in them.
Introducing
Listening Prayer Practices, Spiritual Direction and Self Awareness can be game changers for busy Christ centered leaders who are exhausted from all of the hype and activity that seems to be required of them. Listeners will discover a whole new way of doing “leadership” as we converse with authors, experts, and practitioners who are on the journey of wisdom and spiritual wellness, have leaned into God’s love in deeper ways, and who make stillness, silence, and solitude a priority. All for God’s glory, their own benefit, and for the sake of others.
Episodes will cover
Healthy Leadership Culture
Buckle up! We’re going to dive deep into some honest conversations around mental and spiritual health in leadership. What led to this epidemic of crashing leadership and how can we turn things around? Experts, psychologists, and spiritual directors give practical ideas on how to care for yourself while leading your team.
The Art of Listening
How do contemplative practices like stillness, silence, and solitude help leaders listen to their own longings, needs and hurts? How can you better listen to and understand your team, your ministry partners, as well as those you serve? We will explore the wisdom of those gone before us in the contemplative Christian tradition, especially look at Jesus’ way of life, and learn to listen to his love for us first.
Self-Awareness Tools
There are so many tools out there. How do you know which ones will get you to where you want to go? Through our conversations, we will explore self-awareness wisdom from the Enneagram, attachment theory and stages of faith model to help get you unstuck and onto a path of joy and wholeness.

You matter more than your work
Discover practical tools and spiritual wisdom
To heal, grow, and flourish as a leader you need practical tools and wisdom. As your host, I’ll explore the lifestyle of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the greatest leader of all time. He exemplifies: personal boundaries, emotional intelligence, and an unhurried lifestyle. Combining the spiritual wisdom of Jesus and other teachers in the Christian tradition, with tools from psychology and brain science, each episode explores tools for healthy self-love while you care for others.
