Andrew McMasters draws on decades as an actor, improviser, and leadership coach to illustrate his core message: real listening transforms connection and impact. In Listening Without Agenda, he describes how our default speaking with intent, undermines presence and blocks deeper understanding. Through engaging anecdotes from workshops and corporate sessions with Fortune 500s like Amazon and Microsoft, he shares how acting and improv sharpen listening skills by anchoring attention, suspending judgment, and responding with curiosity.
The result? Stronger relationships, better team dynamics, and leadership grounded in empathy and insight.
