Empathy-Based Listening (EBL) is the transformative skill that can elevate your leadership and transform your listening skills. On this episode of The Forward Thinking Podcast, FCCS VP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton is joined by Eric Maddox, speaker at the upcoming FCCS RISK 360 conference in Boston, author, motivational speaker and consultant who is known for the empathy-based listening method that is responsible for the capture of Saddam Hussein. Together they explore EBL, how to really listen to what really matters to clients and colleagues, and how to remove distractions from your conversations.   Episode Insights Include:   Tracking down Saddam Hussein with empathy-based listening From interrogations in a tight-knit Iraqi community to gaining the trust of prisoners, EBL was the key to tracking down the world's most wanted man. Prisoner conversations begin at a negative-trust level. Eric's biggest challenge was taking the enemy's trust from a negative level to a positive level.   Effective techniques for building real trust Every conversation creates the potential for a relationship. Every moment together can become a future partnership. Positive partnerships are founded when one person shows interest in the other, not only in themselves.   Transitioning to empathy based listening Eric recalls the specific prisoner who helped him realize that he needed to change his approach to listening. Partnerships don't have to be about kindness and friendliness, but they do need to be about understanding. EBL can open up an avenue to the highest level of trust regardless of the circumstances. When Eric couldn't get any of his prisoners to cooperate, he only had the option of looking at and changing his own approach. The utilization of EBL has taken prisoner cooperation from 4% to 65%.   Applying EBL to business professionals Business culture can be improved by empathy-based listening. Relationships between lenders and borrowers tend to be imbalanced in favor of the lender. The person providing the service has the expertise and knowledge, and tends to focus only on trying to solve their problems. Identifying what makes a borrower's situation unique creates a level of trust that cannot be matched. It only takes 3 minutes to ask questions about the other person to build real trust.   Effective listening techniques Limit the major distraction of making sure that you know what you are going to stay next. The other person needs to know that you're listening more than they need to hear your value proposition. Put the other person first- before your value proposition. Shift away from being first to being a more empathetic listener. Listen for the key words or phrases that the other person shares with you and wants to hear you repeat back to them- identify those breadcrumbs. Get off your own stage and get onto the other person's stage.   Resolving conflict with EBL Establish core goals regardless of trust levels. Discover the other person's concerns by asking what their core goals are. Take the first step to get on their side and then meet them in the middle.   Lessons learned from EBL With EBL, good is the enemy of great. There is much more work that needs to be done. Leadership is about solving problems that we have never faced before. Approaching problems happens more effectively with a clean slate. Empowering others creates greater opportunities for effective leadership.   This podcast is powered by FCCS.   Resources   Connect with Eric Maddox – Eric Maddox   Get in touch   info@fccsconsulting.com

Today we're excited to share an episode from the Latitude Adjustment Podcast looking at the role Christian Zionism plays in continuing persecution of Palestinians. Eric Maddox completed his graduate research in Conflict Transformation from Dheisheh Refugee Camp in the Occupied West Bank, collecting oral histories from the 1948 War. He is the founder and director of the Palestine Podcast Academy, and the host of Latitude Adjustment Podcast. He interviewed Rev. Dr. Don Wagner, a friend of Mondoweiss, and expert on Christian Zionism. From Latitude Adjustment's show notes: While there have been different strains of Christian Zionism dating back to the Sixteenth Century, the most politicized, powerful, and violent iteration of the movement has its roots in the contemporary Christian Evangelical Church. Modern Christian Zionists hold that the ethnic cleansing of roughly 750,000 Palestinians from their homes in historic Palestine in 1948 by Jewish Zionists was the fulfillment of a Biblical prophecy in which the so-called Holy Land must be resettled by the Jewish people in order to usher in the return of Jesus Christ as the messiah. Modern Christian Zionism is distinct from the modern form of political Zionism that arose amongst the European Jewish community in the late 19th Century. Don Wagner is a Christian theologian, a former minister, and author. He received a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry degree from McCormick Theological Seminary. He is also author of, "Glory to God in the Lowest: Journeys to an Unholy Land".

We have the pleasure of speaking to someone truly fascinating today! Eric Maddox is the person who led the team in the capture of Saddam Hussein. He has had a tremendous impact on the world and has received numerous prestigious awards for his achievements!   In this episode, Eric tells his story, talks about his experiences, shares his methodology for the art of Empathy Based Listening, and discusses how that methodology allowed him to track down the exact location of the spider hole in which Saddam Hussein was hiding.  We hope you enjoy listening to our conversation with Eric Maddox today! Eric Maddox's bio Eric Maddox is an author, motivational speaker, and consultant who teaches audiences worldwide about the art of Empathy Based Listening. He is the author of the book Mission: Black List No.1 (Harper Collins, 2008), which details his lead in the search and capture of Saddam Hussein. After graduating from the University of Oklahoma in 1994, Eric enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he was a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, a jump master, and a graduate of Ranger School. He then reenlisted in 1997 as a Chinese Mandarin linguist and interrogator. In 2003, he was sent to Tikrit, Iraq, where he joined a Delta Force team searching for high-value targets on the infamous Deck of Cards. After five months and over 300 interrogations, Eric was able to track down and eventually give the team the exact location of the spider hole in which Saddam hid. For this, he was awarded the Legion of Merit, the National Intelligence Medal of Achievement, the Defense Intelligence Agency Director's Award, and the Bronze Star. Following the capture of Saddam, Eric was hired as the first-ever civilian interrogator by the Defense Intelligence Agency, where he went on to conduct over 2,700 interrogations of prisoners from 25 different countries. Having served in the U.S. Army and Defense Intelligence Agency for 20 years, Eric now devotes his work full time to teaching what he learned during that time to audiences worldwide—the art of Empathy Based Listening. Joining the military Eric grew up in Oklahoma. After graduating from the University of Oklahoma in the late 1990s, he joined the U.S. Military, became a paratrooper, signed up to study Chinese Mandarin in the foreign language program, and trained to become an interrogator. He was working as an Intelligence Collection Officer against the Chinese government for the U.S. Military when 9/11 happened, and America went to war in Afghanistan and Iraq.   Unexpected orders Three months into the war in Iraq, Eric received unexpected orders to join a Delta Force team to track down everyone in the infamous deck of cards in which Saddam Hussein was the Ace of Spades.  Interrogating prisoners After joining the Delta Force team, Eric began interrogating the prisoners that were brought in. Even though none of the techniques taught in the military about interrogation worked, Eric was determined to figure out what it meant to be Iraqi, Sunni, and Shiite.  Trust While listening to and communicating with the prisoners, Eric discovered that people subconsciously use communication to figure out how much they can trust one another. The challenge  Everyone has their biases and agendas. The challenge for Eric was to overcome his own biases and agendas, so he could understand the perspective of others and get to know what the world meant to them.  Empathy Based Listening He discovered that engaging with people on that level was empowering to them, and that level of empowerment was the key to making people willing to talk to him and work with him. He calls that Empathy Based Listening. Cooperation As a result of Eric focusing on the prisoners' needs and what he could do for them, the prisoners became extremely cooperative throughout the 300 interrogations with the Delta Force team. Finding Saddam  The cooperation of the prisoners led to the Delta Force team (that Eric was working with) capturing Saddam Hussein's bodyguard. The bodyguard then led the Delta Force team directly to the spider hole where Saddam was hiding.  The first civilian interrogator for the Defense Intelligence Agency As a result of the capture of Saddam, Eric got pulled out of the United States Army. Then, the Defense Intelligence Agency hired him as their first civilian interrogator.  The art of listening Over the following ten years, Eric did 2700 interrogations and eight deployments of prisoners from 25 different countries. In all the interrogations, he focused on the art of listening. A clear picture When you listen to someone's story, remove the biases of how you see their story. Then you will get a clear picture of how they see the world and how the world matters to them. How to listen to someone if you want to sell them something To sell something to someone, let them know that you are listening to them to get them. Once you have established that, they will tell you what they want and need without asking about the price. Eric's Influence Equation Add your value proposition to the level of respect you show someone and the worthiness you see in them. Put that into the power of the empathy-based trust you have built with them, and divide all of it by what you fear in your relationship with them. (We tend to fear not making a connection or not understanding what someone needs.) Eric's process Eric has a six-step process to get to understand people. The first step is to build their trust. Priorities If you are easily distracted, you need to have the priorities to guide your focus, because our brains cannot multitask.  Breadcrumbs (What you need to listen for when talking to a prospect) Listen for and focus on the words and statements in every sentence your prospect most wants you to hear.  Building trust To build the level of trust you need to make people want to partner with you, start your conversation with three minutes of empathy-based listening. Then, start picking up the breadcrumbs. Presentations at events Get to know what kind of overall experience the audience needs to get from the event. Then gear your presentation around that. Zoom Know that there is the potential for building as much trust with someone on Zoom as there is with meeting them face-to-face. Build the right mindset, stay focused, and prevent yourself from becoming distracted while talking.  Connect with Eric On LinkedIn On Facebook On Instagram On Website Connect with Eric Maddox Email Eric: info@ericmaddox.com On his Website

Why conventional interrogation tactics didn't work in the early Iraq days and how getting a prisoner to talk led to a new approach to interrogation. This is an excerpt from the full story on how the U.S. Army's hunt for the one man who knew the location of Saddam Hussein turned into one of the biggest success stories in military history.The David Johnson Show is a national voice that talks about points of interest within our cultural – The Military and Veteran Cultural.More so than ever the Military and Veteran community has created a culture in America. A sub-culture unique to our way of life, our experiences and the language we speak.

On November 5, 2006, Saddam Hussein was found guilty of crimes against humanity and ultimately hanged on December 30, 2006. Three years before that, on December 13th, the once mighty ruler was found hiding underground, dug out of a hole and captured. But it’s what went into that capture, and how a US Army MaNdarin Chinese linguist named Eric Maddox played a huge role in tracking down the Ace of Spades.

But for the years leading up to that crucial moment in American and world history, America’s special forces searched desperately for Saddam Hussein without luck. Fortunes for the pursuit of intelligence to capture Saddam would change when a young and very green Army negotiator stepped off a plane to help. This man’s name is Eric Maddox, and he is our special guest on today’s show. 
Upon his deployment, Eric quickly found the interrogation training he received in the military proved ineffective in the field…and so he developed his own strategy predicated on what he calls empathy based listening, the structure and details of which you’ll hear him unpack on the show. In this Episode: Eric retells the play-by-play story of the interrogations that led to Saddam Hussein’s capture Eric has conducted over 2,700 interrogations in 25 countries around the world, and shares what he’s learned about the most effective forms of listening in order to influence Eric has taken those skills and created a training program called Empathy Based Listening which he delivers via keynotes and corporate workshops to banking, insurance, wealth management, medical and non-for-profit industries…and he shares some of those powerful techniques with you today Contact Eric Maddox for Speaking and Training Website: https://ericmaddox.com

This re-release episode closes with a short update interview with Abdul, completed in November, 2020. It starts at 59:18. The original show was published in December, 2018.Abdul Saboor worked with the US military in Afghanistan before having to flee the country after receiving death threats and having several friends and family members killed by the Taliban. What followed was an overland odyssey across Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, the Balkans, and back and forth across the EU, until he was able to claim asylum in France, where he currently lives. Along the way he endured prison, forced labor, beatings, deportations, and kidnapping. His is one of the more remarkable stories of resilience that I have come across in my years of traveling and working in the Middle East and anywhere else in the world. And he’s a remarkable photographer.  We were connected by the people at No Name Kitchen, a Spanish NGO that provides food, sleeping bags and supplies, and a community space for the growing numbers of refugees stuck in Serbia and more recently in Bosnia.

This is the final episode of a four-part series on the refugee crisis in Greece, undertaken in collaboration with Croation NGO, Are You Syrious.

This has become one of my favorite Podcasts'. This Podcast has allowed me to travel to places I would probably never have gone , through the stories he brings of the people living in these areas. This Podcast has delivered all of the elements required to be able to leave an episode entertained, as well as having questions of my own about the places his guests are living in and the conditions they have endured in a search for a better life.  Hearing these stories has caused me to reexamine my own life and lack of curiosity, and complacency when it comes to the basic human rights that most of us take for granted as the beneficiaries of the United States Empire. It is heart breaking to think that some of the basic things that I am guaranteed as a citizen of the U.S., in many foreign countries and places speaking up for those rights will get you beaten, and may get you killed. This show has made me smile, made me question my own humanity, brought me to tears several times. It has shown me that I have holes, and blind spots to my own approach to life that I need to adjust. At the end of the day we are all just trying to navigate our way to a better place for our families and ourselves.  Thank you Eric for educating me, and enlightening me.

Army Staff Sergeant Eric Maddox was and is an interrogator who served in 2003 in Iraq, in South East Asia, and other places around the world. He has more than 2700 interrogations under his belt, and an amazing story to tell us that delves into an aspect of health and wellness that we have rarely talked about, and that is listening and having healthy relationships. Eric has been awarded many decorations including the DIA director’s award, the legion of merit, the bronze star, and the national intelligence medal of achievement for his services to the United States of America.

Eric Maddox embodies the idea that we should be brave enough to be radically curious. He grew up in the USA, earning an advanced degree in International Conflict Transformation. Eric lived in the West Bank, traveled the US-Mexico border, and conducted research which led him to launch The Virtual Dinner Guest Project. He inspirationally shares the power of connecting historically conflicted groups around the world, hosts the Latitude Adjustment Podcast, and leads Open Roads Media, a compelling nonprofit. About the Guest: Eric completed his undergraduate studies in Philosophy and Classic Literature and his graduate degree in International Conflict Transformation. He moved to the West Bank to conduct his field research, collecting oral histories from Palestinians and Israelis from the 1948 War. Back in the US, Eric spent two years traveling through the US-Mexico borderlands, conducting interviews, writing, and producing media projects on both sides of the border and in the deserts of southern Arizona and New Mexico. In 2011, Eric started a cross-border dialogue and collaborative filmmaking initiative, The Virtual Dinner Guest Project, with a connection between residents of New Mexico and cd. Juárez, Mexico. In 2012, Eric returned to the Middle East to implement The Virtual Dinner Guest Project, with nearly 80 encounters connecting small groups in Egypt, Lebanon, Tunisia, Gaza, Syria, and eventually India and the Balkans, to communities around the world. In 2015 Eric founded the Amsterdam-based nonprofit, Open Roads Media. He currently resides in Spain where he continues to produce projects with Open Roads Media as he hosts Latitude Adjustment podcast.   Personal Links: Podcast: https://www.latitudeadjustmentpod.com/ Nonprofit: http://www.openroadsmedia.org/   About the Host: Dan McPherson, International Speaker, Business and Personal Development Coach, and CEO of Leaders Must Lead, is on a mission to help Creatives and Entrepreneurs create and grow profit and understand that Dreams ARE Real.

Ladies and gentleman... we got em. Those words forever etched in our minds from the day that Saddam Hussein was finally captured after months of raids and tireless searching. I sat down with the man responsible for breaking the source that led to that capture. Saddams right hand man finally gave him up after Eric interrogated him, and account of the amazing journey of the operators that ultimately nabbed him is gripping to say the least.

In 2003, Eric Maddox collected the intelligence which led to the exact location of Saddam Hussein—the Ace of Spades in the infamous Deck of Cards. His technique shaped the future intelligence collection for the military and civilians around the world. Today, he shares that technique—empathy-based listening—with people and companies around the world as an inspirational speaker, author, consultant, and negotiator. Empathy based listening teaches that trust is the most important element in all relationships. When you have trust, you turn clients and customers into champions and advocates. You gain and maximize influence. There is no other skill needed more to improve every aspect of your personal and professional life.

In this episode I learned quite a bit about Iran, and the role the United States & Israel play in determining how foreign policy is made in the Middle East. I also learned how a lack of curiosity by people in the West, could play a part in why things never change in this part of the world.  Eric is the host of "The Latitude Adjustment" Podcast. This has become one of my favorite Podcasts'. This Podcast has allowed me to travel to places I would probably never have gone , through the stories he brings of the people living in these areas. This Podcast has delivered all of the elements required to be able to leave an episode entertained, as well as having questions of my own about the places his guests are living in and the conditions they have endured in a search for a better life.  Hearing these stories has caused me to reexamine my own life and lack of curiosity, and complacency when it comes to the basic human rights that most of us take for granted as the beneficiaries of the United States Empire. It is heart breaking to think that some of the basic things that I am guaranteed as a citizen of the U.S., in many foreign countries and places speaking up for those rights will get you beaten, and may get you killed. This show has made me smile, made me question my own humanity, brought me to tears several times. It has shown me that I have holes, and blind spots to my own approach to life that I need to adjust. At the end of the day we are all just trying to navigate our way to a better place for our families and ourselves.  Thank you Eric for educating me, and enlightening me.

Josh, Hannah, and Parker discuss Monday’s episode with Eric Maddox and his method of empathy-based listening that led to the capture of Saddam Hussein. Their conversation includes how to follow the direction that the person you’re talking is leading without letting them take the conversation in strange or unhelpful directions. They also discuss how to listen with empathy when you don’t have time and how to balance transactional vs. empathetic listening.

Eric Maddox is the Army interrogator who, while attached to a Delta Force team in Iraq, collected the intelligence which led to the capture of Saddam Hussein. He subsequently became the first civilian interrogator for the Defense Intelligence Agency and went on to conduct over 2700 interrogations. Eric has repeatedly been able to influence those who have zero trust in him, to make the decision to give him information, even more than he asked, without using torture. Eric honed his systematic methods of creating influence in hostile environments but has found they are equally as useful in building or retaining relationships of all sorts. If you would like to hear more from Eric, check out his own podcast called Creating Influence.

This was a double treat for our eight anniversary show on WRKO. One of my favorite guests has been Eric Maddox, author of Mission: Black List #1: The Inside Story of the Search for Saddam Hussein—As Told by the Soldier Who Masterminded His Capture. This book was fantastic and the story of how Staff Sergeant Maddox used Saddam’s social network to squeeze his close in support was fascinating. It’s about to get the Hollywood treatment with Twilight’s Robert Pattison in the starring role. Eric has been a friend of the program ever since and returned tonight for his fourth appearance. In the middle of the interview we heard from Senator Scott Brown. It is always great to hear from Senator Brown. He reminded me tonight that he has been calling into the show since his days as a state rep. I guess I can say I knew him when! It was neat to introduce Sen. Brown to the man who masterminded the capture of Saddam, you don’t get to do that everyday! Personally, I thank Sen. Brown for calling in during our eighth anniversary show.

In the days after Osama was found and killed by Navy SEALS, I began thinking about how we could cover this great news on Pundit Review Radio. I immediately thought of a former guest who has amazingly relevant experience. It was a true honor to welcome back to the show Eric Maddox, the man who masterminded the capture of none other than Saddam Hussein. Eric is a true blue American hero. When he got to Iraq in 2003, he had never interrogated a prisoner. Four months later, it was his interrogations that broke the hunt for Saddam wide open. Eric wrote an awesome book about his experience in Iraq titled Mission: Black List #1: The Inside Story of the Search for Saddam Hussein—As Told by the Soldier Who Masterminded His Capture. Since Eric was on the show, he has become a civilian interrogator with the Department of Defense, having now completed some 2,500 interrogations during his incredible SEVEN tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Eric is now preparing for his eighth deployment. It was a true honor to welcome him back to WRKO Boston and to talk to him about the mission to kill Osama bin Laden.

Paul and I were joined by Eric Maddox. As an Army Staff Sergeant, Eric was an interrogator assigned to Tikrit where he soon realized that the insurgency was not being run by former regime elements, the so-called Deck of Cards. Eric realized that the regime elements went into self-preservation mode and were too fragmented. Saddam was using his most basic social networks for protection and to run the insurgency. For his efforts, Eric Maddox was awarded the DIA Director’s Award, the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, and the National Intelligence Medal of Achievement for his key role in the capture of Saddam Hussein. He’s written a great book about his experiene in Iraq called Mission: Black List #1 The Inside Story of the Search for Saddam Hussein Today, Eric has been hired by the DoD as the first ever civilian interrogator. He has deployed to Afghanistan, back to Iraq, and other locations around the world for interrogation operations. He teaches new interrogation methodology and techniques for the government and to allied countries. This is a fascinating discussion between two subject matter experts who realize that social networks are really about human beings and not technology.

When Army Staff Sergeant Eric Maddox arrived in Iraq he had never interrogated a prisoner. Five months later he left with the DIA Director’s Award, the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, and the National Intelligence Medal of Achievement for his key role in the capture of Saddam Hussein. Not only did he do that, his work identified the insurgency funding and leadership network, which had been previously unknown to the US military. He did this by focusing on the social and family networks of captured prisoners. Mission: Black List #1: The Inside Story of the Search for Saddam Hussein—As Told by the Soldier Who Masterminded His Capture "After months of chasing down leads, following hunches, and interrogating literally hundreds of detainees, Sergeant Maddox uncovered crucial details about the insurgency. In his final days in Iraq, he closed in on the dictator’s inner circle and, within hours of his departure from the country, pinpointed the precise location of Saddam’s Tikrit spider hole. Maddox’s candid and compelling narrative reveals the logic behind the unique interrogation process he developed and provides an insider’s look at his psychologically subtle, nonviolent methods. The result is a gripping, moment-by-moment account of the historic mission that brought down Black List #1." Just incredible what he did and how he did it. This is a great book and it was an honor to be able to speak to SSG Maddox. What is Pundit Review Radio? Pundit Review Radio is where the old media meets the new.
