Speaking on
Substance Abuse, Self-Esteem, Suicide Prevention & Depression, and
Leadership
People
respond to being heard. That's what saved Randy Haveson when, at the age of 24, he reached out to a stranger at the other end
of a crisis hotline to convince him not to slit his wrist. His response
to being heard was to change the course of his life from one of addictive
behavior to one of possibilities.
Randy knew that he
had both the motivation and the gift to shift others' perspectives
and to set transformations in motion by addressing self-esteem, leadership,
and addictive behavior. But to do so, people first had to know that they
had been heard. In order to better speak to the possibilities that all
of us have to lead more fulfilling lives, Randy pursued his master's
in “listening.” |
