Today’s encore episode is a masterclass in deep listening from executive coach, Cheryl Scanlan, a master certified coach and founder of Promised Land Living. Cheryl has trained more than 3,000 coaches and has 15,000 hours of coaching experience. Her ability to hear the hearts of her clients is unparalleled and consistently leads to dramatic growth and change.

In this conversation, she shares her secrets to deep listening with us, speaking directly to us, as missionaries. This is an episode you’ll want to listen to on repeat.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• How to identify your default listening style—and why it matters more than you think
• The difference between open and closed listening, and how each impacts relationships
• Why many missionaries unknowingly listen in a way that creates disconnection—and how to shift
• Ways to handle conversations where someone talks too much—without shutting them down
• A practical, biblical framework for transformational listening that missionaries can use daily
