How To Listen in deadly situations with curiosity - Peter Scott

Author: Oscar Trimboli February 18, 2022 Duration: 40:23

Retired Naval Commander Peter Scott has the 35 years' experience in leading specialist teams in complex and demanding underwater environments. Joining the Navy as a 17-year-old midshipman, he rose through the ranks over three decades to become the head of the Navy's elite submarine arm.

During that journey, Peter survived and led others through fires at sea, floods and explosions. A veteran of multiple special operations with the submarine arm, Peter's service included Iraq, the Persian Gulf, and Afghanistan.

With Peter, we'll explore the role, not only of a submarine commander, but the role of a sonar operator as well, or their official title, acoustic warfare analyst.

We get to go behind the scenes, in one of the world's most complex and demanding a listening environments, and notice how professional acoustic warfare analysts listen.

 

Finally, Peter explains what it's like to command a submarine that you crash under the water and the importance of listening to your intuition as a leader.


Most of us spend over half our working hours listening, yet almost no one has ever been taught how to do it well. The result is a cycle of frustration and missed connections, where genuine understanding feels just out of reach.

You’ll hear practical techniques drawn from research and real-world scenarios, designed for leaders, managers, and anyone who needs to navigate complex workplace relationships.
