The Importance Of Deep Listening with Dr. Pascale Fournier

My guest today is incredible! I admire her so greatly for her
knowledge, her passion, and her accomplishments. She is also page
96 in my Fearless book. Dr. Pascale Fournier is the President and
CEO of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation - which is an
independent and nonpartisan Canadian charity, established in 2001
to honour Pierre Elliott Trudeau's ideas and values.


At 31:35 Dr. Pascale Fournier talks about her personal journey,
and how the foundation is helping to shape leadership. "When I
was younger I was driven by activism and social change. And I
wanted things to go fast, and I wanted to shake to structures and
rebuild the structure... and so on. And with time I understood
how complex it is. So, at the foundation, we build the leadership
curriculum around leadership of self, leadership of others, and
leadership of systems. And so first, you need to know yourself,
and need to know and identify your own blinds spots. And at the
same time as you do that work and that kind of journey, you need
to know about others and what is you relationship when you
communicate with others, and are you really into the deep
listening mode - or are you paying lip service, right?
