Secrets for Powerful Speaking and Listening | Julian Treasure

Julian is a sound and communication expert whose mission is to help people and organizations to listen better and create healthier and more effective sound, including speaking. He is the author of the books How to be Heard and Sound Business.

Julian’s five TED talks have been watched more than 100 million times. 'How to speak so that people want to listen' is in the top 10 TED talks of all time. Julian is regularly featured in the world’s media and has guested on dozens of leading global podcasts.

In 2003 Julian founded The Sound Agency – an audio branding company that asks and answers the question “how does your brand sound?”and has recently launched Moodsonic®, a range of biophilic soundscapes to enhance well-being and productivity in workspaces. TSA's award-winning work has made headlines internationally.

Julian’s love of sound stems from his early experience as a musician. He was a drummer for indie bands The Transmitters, Fish Turned Human and Missing Presumed Dead and recorded vinyl and two 1981 John Peel Sessions.

Before The Sound Agency, Julian spent 20 years working in advertising and magazine publishing. He founded, grew, and sold the contract (custom) publishing agency TPD.

Julian lives in beautiful Orkney with his fiancée, multiple world champion martial artist, Jane Majendie, and their daughter.

Julian's vision: "We teach our children how to read and write, but not how to speak and listen. Conscious listening is rare, and never has it been more needed in the world; at the same time, millions miss out on the potential of the amazing instrument we all play – the human voice – and struggle to speak powerfully. My vision is to transform the world by inspiring people to listen consciously and speak powerfully."

[And I say, "Hear, hear, Brother!"]
