The Importance of Listening

27030_427348451144_685146144_5517517_6385582_nI just wanted to get in touch to say how amazing the past few months have been for me and send you a big big “THANKS” for being such an inspiration. I’ve been offered this brilliant new job which I’m starting in 2 weeks time and also I moved into a lovely new flat with my lovely flatmates.

It’s really amazing the things that happened for me after I came back from Costa Rica without working hard. Especially the job I got, it is perfect on every level. I’ve been job hunting for 8 months and I came back from Costa Rica, switched back on my mobile in New York in the airport and all of the sudden I receive a text from my recruitment agency saying I should get in touch because they have a job I might like. I went to the interview and 3 hours later I had a call that I got the job. I will never forget this day. My new job is Account Management, Sales Support and Training and I’ll have to go into hotels and provide training on a software that allows hotels to issue and sell gift vouchers. My new job allows me to travel 3 days of the week and I can work 2 days from home.

Also during my interview I really connected with my future boss and we talked about transformation (I even gave her the link to your website during my interview – how cool). She said she uses transformation at work all the time and also with her clients. The most amazing thing though was the following – and I need to share this with you guys because without you and your transformational approach I wouldn’t have landed that job.

Normally I would drive myself crazy before the interview and read all these books that give you a million of questions that you might get asked during an interview and I would prepare myself with every possible answer I could think of. This time I decided not to do that and just simply researched the company website for a little bit, got a good night’s rest, made sure I looked smart when I got there and arrived early. This was all I needed and of course “be present”.

The most amazing moment was when my boss asked me the following question: “What do you think is the single most important thing when you go into a meeting with your client?” I replied immediately,
“listening”….and we both looked at each other and she smiled and said “Yes”… I left the interview and I knew I got the job, it just felt right on every level. There were another 2 people my future boss interviewed, but she said she knew after we finished the interview that I was the one she wanted. I couldn’t believe it, still can’t. Amazing. Thanks for teaching us that “listening” is so important and it worked like magic for me during the interview.

So I just wanted to personally thank Ariel and Shya again for all I’ve learned from you during the Costa Rica trip.

Now I’m off to listen to the radio show from Wednesday, can’t wait to hear it.

Lots of love,
xoxoxo
