DAVID TAYLOR
The Authentic Power of Listening.
David spent 10 years on Tony Robbins’ team, before discovering a completely different model of coaching – using the simplicity of listening, and capturing people’s responses on film, which David found was truly transformative.
We explore David’s own astonishing story, the value of empathy that can only truly be shared by listening, and the power of listening as the world addresses racism and prejudice.

Meet the Host
Matty Hawthorne
Hi I’m Matty, Host of the Upward Podcast, and Founder here at Upward.
I live in the South of England (but spent many years in Manchester). I’m married to Hannah and have a toddler and an old dog.
I’ve worked for over 20 years helping thousands of people and businesses grow — and I believe that because every person is hugely valuable, every life should be wonderfully meaningful: When people go to work, they should be working in a culture where they are valued, doing work that matters, with people who care.
