When was the last time you really listened to someone?

This is a key question New York Times contributor Kate Murphy asks in her book “You're Not Listening,” which strives to understand why we struggle to listen—and why it matters. Considering the global epidemic of not listening (both online and off) Murphy’s question is worth contemplating.

Today, I'll be joining entrepreneurs Sonja Wekema & Matthias Schramm at Kasteel de Wittenburg for a networking event inspired by their book: "Leading in a Wicked World." The book, an unconventional guide to effective leadership in today's rapidly changing world, can be found on Amazon: https://lnkd.in/eDJHJvRU
I helped edit the book, which gave me great insights into the mindset we need to go forward.

Excited to share this new book: Leading in a Wicked World, about leadership skills in the ever-changing 21st century, a time marked by constant and rapid upheaval. Sonja Wekema and Matthias Schramm wrote it, and I helped edit. The book helps you learn how to make sense of organisations. It's thought-provoking, straight-forward, creative and just a good read.

About

As a writer who teaches and a teacher who writes, I’ve had an exciting, self-driven career. I began my career as an English as a Second Language (ESL) instructor and as someone with a deep, enduring love for words, picked up a journalism degree at UC Berkeley along the way. I worked for Metro San Jose as an investigative reporter before going freelance.

As a freelance writer, I have been published in print, radio and online and consider myself a highly versatile wordsmith. I live in Amsterdam so much of my work now centers around translation, copyediting and writing website copy for local businesses.

I have always taught alongside writing and teach journalistic skills at the University of Groningen. I am also an experienced CELTA certified English teacher, have worked as a language assessor for the Dutch Foreign Service and occasionally teach high-level professional English.
