    About this ebook

    When we think of effective communication we tend to have in mind the idea of getting our message across, making sure that what we have to say is received loud and clear. However, communication is a two-way process, so being an effective listener is also a key part of effective communication. People are more likely to listen to you if you are listening to them, so everyone benefits from effective listening.

    But it isn’t enough to listen – you have to show that you are listening. And that is precisely what is meant by active listening. If people are not convinced that you are listening, then the benefits of paying attention to what they are saying will be lost.

    So, if success in your line of work or in your life more broadly depends on effective communication, then there is much to be gained from studying this short guide to active listening where you will learn not only why it is so important, but also find out about the fundamentals of putting active listening into practice. It is surprising how many people undermine their own effectiveness by not listening actively. This e-book will help to ensure that you are not one of them.

    Mark Worthington has lived what could best be described as a normal life, with many ups and downs. Addicted to fitting in, working hard and meeting the expectations of others often left him no time or space to meet his own desires. In fact, there came a point where he wasn’t even sure what they were anymore! He has had a relatively successful career in Finance roles, a beautiful family, and yet he struggling to find enduring happiness. By most standards he would have been seen as a successful person. So why didn’t he feel that way? Why did he feel like he was not enjoying life as much as he wanted to? Does your heart resonate with this experience? In his 50s after a second divorce, he decided it was time to face his pain in the hope of transforming his roller-coaster of a life into one of consistent fulfillment and happiness. What he found has set him on a path to greater joy and deeper purpose that he wanted to share in the hope of helping others. This book explains how YOU can do the same and turn your life into the fun adventure you always wished for. Come and experience Mark’s very relatable story and let it inspire yours to new heights. Can you feel the power and joy that lies in finding your true sources of happiness, not those you may currently think they are ? Join Our Mailing List: mark@mark-worthington
