    Experience Authentic Connection Through Listening

    At Speakeasy, we believe listening is the foundation of authentic leadership. Listen for PEAK Impact is a one-day, evidence-based program that transforms how leaders listen and engage. Grounded in behavioral science, it uses a proprietary 25-item self and peer assessment to uncover listening habits that affect understanding and connection.

    Participants experience live, team-based facilitation that builds emotional intelligence and interpersonal effectiveness. They gain a practical framework for sustained listening growth, supported by follow-up measurement at six and twelve months. By the end, leaders strengthen collaboration, enhance sales performance, improve relationships, and drive measurable business results.

    Only 8% of Employees Say Leaders Listen Well.
    In a survey of nearly 14,000 employees, just 8% said their mid- and senior-level leaders listen “very well.” This gap highlights how few leaders are perceived as strong listeners.
