Masterful Listening

About Masterful Listening

Welcome to Masterful Listening, the world's first super rad listening school. I'm Svetlana, your host. Isn't it wild that we're taught how to read, write, and speak, but nobody ever teaches us how to listen? When was the last time you went to listening school? Exactly. Well, when is now. This is it! Every episode of Masterful Listening is part story, part lesson, part listening practice. I teach by doing what I do best: telling stories, asking great questions, and helping you hear what you've been missing all along. I'm an executive coach, facilitator, writer, and artist and I've designed this show to be an interactive experience, not just something you have on in the background. Expect guest appearances, meditations, coaching lessons, daily mantras and comedy specials because who doesn't like to laugh and have some fun? I believe that the quality of our listening determines the quality of your life and that masterful listening is the ultimate love affair with life. When we learn to truly listen to ourselves, to others, and to the world, life gets a lot more interesting. See you in class!

   Being misunderstood sucks. Seriously. It sucks when someone completely misses your heart, questions your intentions, or decides who you are without ever getting curious enough to actually know you. I spent way too much of my life trying to explain myself. Trying to be understood. Trying to convince people that what they heard wasn't actually what I meant. You know what I've discovered? That sucks a whole lot more than being misunderstood. Because here's the truth: most of the time, it isn't e...

   We Are Human Beings, Not Human Doings: Leading from the Inside Out with Special Guest Patrick Tam

   Send us a text We are human beings, not human doings. And sometimes, the doing doesn’t happen. That doesn’t mean the being isn’t exactly, perfectly on time. This episode of Masterful Listening is a powerful invitation to slow down and remember who you are beneath the noise. I’m joined by Patrick Tam, Vice President of Operational Excellence at ServiceNow, professor, father, and one of the most heart-centered humans I know. Patrick and I first met years ago when he was a student in one of my c...

   Here’s Your Permission Slip to Feel Like Sh*t (and Why It’s the Healthiest Thing You Can Do)

   Send us a text Listen. I spent decades chasing happiness as a researcher, a coach, and a seeker of light. My freaking name means “light.” But guess what? The real secret isn’t in pretending to be happy—it’s in giving yourself permission to feel like absolute crap sometimes. This episode is that permission slip. You don’t have to hold it together. You don’t have to slap a smile on your face. You don’t have to “self-care” your way out of feeling low. Sometimes, the healthiest thing you can do i...
