When was the last time you experienced the luxury of really being listened to? No interruptions, no un-asked for advice? I will listen attentively to all your dilemmas to allow you time to think things through and to find the answers you need, all by yourself. I believe you know already what to do, let me just give you that space to think. HOW TO USE LISTEN UP: STEP 1: Create a 'Thinking Ambience' to support your thinking. STEP 2: Find a quiet space and tell me your dilemma - listening is what I do best. STEP 3: When you’re ready to be prompted, just tap my ear. Initially I will offer three standard prompts to get you underway. Further taps will offer random prompts to really deepen your thinking. Talk as long as you like before tapping. And tap as many times as you need to. STEP 4: When you feel you’ve finished your thinking, just tap 'Finished for now' and I’ll look forward to being your listening partner again very soon. TIP: Silence is always an invitation to continue thinking. Delay your tap for a few seconds and see where your mind continues in that silence. (By the way, I’m happy to read the questions out to you too! Just make sure your device isn’t on silent mode). Concept & Content by James Mackenzie Wright (@jmwkidproquo).
