8 Shockingly Bizarre Alter Egos You Must Embrace in Order to Transform Every Relationship in Your Life

An Entirely New Way to Approach The Art of Listening

In this humor-filled, light-hearted, and easy-to-read guide, Ingrid unflinchingly challenges the obstacles, misalignments, and misinformation that prevent us from genuinely listening or being listened to.  

First, she provides an eye-opening and unique perspective on why listening can be so difficult, connecting it to the simple fact that we’ve never been clearly taught.

Second, she takes on some deadly habits many of us are guilty of as they pertain to listening. She goes into what she calls ‘Public Enemies’, behaviors that keep us from listening properly to others. Next, she follows with ‘Adverse Indictors’, signs that explain why people don’t listen to us.

Then, she describes the rationale behind why we need to access our own alter egos or multiple personalities by explaining we’ve always had them but didn’t quite recognize them as such.

Finally, she gives rise to 8 quite hilarious identities, the personas we need to excavate from our psyches in order to achieve various listening goals.  With each surprising ego, she offers incredibly convincing evidence both easily identifiable and relatable from daily life and applicable within the context of her professional experience. By sharing actual case studies, she shows us how these unconventional inner characters are our allies in developing and mastering our listening abilities.
