Welcome to an 11-part series exploring the intersection of listening and creativity. Why is listening so important? How can we become better listeners? How can listening make us more creative? 

In this conversation, Clinical Psychologist Dr. Jennifer Hunter gets into the nitty-gritty about different types of listening exchanges, as well as how to tap into our emotional states as a way to listen on another level. She and Diana explore the imbalance they feel in how communication is taught (speaking vs. listening) in classrooms of all levels, as determined by metrics like participation grades. Dr. Jennifer Hunter also identifies listening’s transformational power, listening’s role as a precursor to creative thinking, the role self-esteem plays in listening and she positions the act of listening as a gift we can offer others.
