Wondering What Next? Greta’s Unique Listening Tour
Our episode this week looks at an under-appreciated concept for reflecting on, and gaining new insights for your next career step or business idea.
We go on a journey with Claire to learn about a ‘World Listening Tour’ that Greta did some years back. She had decided to leave her intense role at (RED) and wasn’t sure what she wanted to do next, nor even which country she should live in!
This dilemma about what next prompted Greta to put together her very own listening tour to learn what had been happening in the world outside the bubble of her all-absorbing (RED) role, as well as discover what other interesting things were happening in the space she was interested in. At the same time, she figured, she’d also get a ‘feel’ for whether she’d want to live in particular cities or not.
In this unique episode we share:
- What a Listening Tour is
- What Greta wanted from her ‘World Listening Tour’
- How she secured her meetings, sometimes with amazing people
- What you need to consider to have your own successful listening tour, and
- How you can have one these days without leaving home.
What we love about the concept of a Listening Tour is that there’s no limit to the kind of topics or themes you might want to explore. And, as you’ll discover, through curious and well prepared conversations with contacts and strangers, a lot of insight can come.
Perhaps a Listening Tour is exactly what you need now?
