Julian Treasure: The Real Power Move? Saying Less, Listening Better

What if the most powerful tool in leadership isn’t what you say — but how you listen?

Julian Treasure’s TED Talk “How to Speak So That People Want to Listen” has been viewed more than 50 million times, making it the 6th most-watched TED Talk of all time. Why? Because in a noisy, distracted world, the ability to speak with purpose AND listen with intention has never been more valuable.

In conversation with Luke, Julian explores the profound connection between sound, consciousness, and leadership. He reveals how noise affects our health, why silence is completely underrated and underutilised, and how developing strong communication habits   can radically transform how we lead and relate to others.

Julian breaks down his famous seven deadly sins of speaking, shares the four C’s of effective listening, and introduces The Listening Society — his passion project aimed at rewiring the way we communicate in education, business, and everyday life.

This episode is guaranteed to help you lead with more clarity, speak with more purpose, and truly connect with others.
