The Surprisingly Simple Skill Behind Extraordinary Relationships

The Gift of Listening

by Patricia Sanders

Everyone wants to feel heard. Relationship coach Michael S. Sorensen explains how to show people you’re listening and why validation is a life-changing skill. 

Years ago, relationship coach Michael S. Sorensen was a self-confessed personal development junkie. By day, he worked as a marketing executive; in his spare time, he read and researched self-help material so he could apply it to his own life. This obsession eventually led Sorensen to share the transformative principles and skills he learned and verified – starting with the subject he found most powerful: the practice of validating others’ experiences and emotions.

Sorensen’s 2018 book, I Hear You: The Surprisingly Simple Skill Behind Extraordinary Relationships, reached #1 on Amazon and to date has garnered more than 8,500 five-star reviews. The book received the 2018 Independent Press Book Award and the 2018 Readers’ Favorite Award. The commercial success of I Hear You launched Sorensen’s second career as a thought leader, author, podcaster, speaker and relationship coach.
