The 5 Levels of Listening: Why Most People Only Use One

Most people think listening means just hearing words... but what if you're missing four out of five critical levels?

In this video, Dr. Jason Han, Doctor of Physical Therapy, former pro sports PT (Pittsburgh Steelers, Cirque du Soleil, LAFC), and author of The Martial Arts of Listening, breaks down the 5 Levels of Listening that every clinician, parent, coach, and martial artist needs to master.

From tuning your ears to subtle vocal cues, to reading micro-expressions, feeling silent signals through touch, connecting the dots with cognitive reasoning, and finally tapping into the transformative power of empathy—this isn't just about communication. It's about deepening connection, accelerating healing, and becoming the leader your community needs.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why "hearing" is just the first step of listening
✅ What a sigh, a micro-shrug, or sweaty palms might really be saying
✅ How physical therapists and parents pick up signs others miss
✅ How to score yourself across all 5 pillars—and where to start improving
✅ Why listening is a full-body experience

Whether you're coaching a national team, supporting a loved one, or helping athletes prevent injuries, this framework will upgrade the way you interact forever.
