Episode notes
Listening Is Not Waiting To Speak
- People often mistake waiting to speak for listening, but true listening involves deep attention and desire to understand.
- Most miss the opportunity to clarify and influence through active listening, which is a powerful but invisible skill.
Feeling Understood Relaxes People
- Feeling truly understood triggers physiological relaxation through serotonin and oxytocin.
- This relaxation reduces demands and opens people to collaboration and influence.
Use Presence and Mirroring
- To listen effectively, be present and look for negative cues like concern or hesitation.
- Use mirroring, repeating 1-3 words, to draw people back without making them feel repetitive.
