Episode notes
Listen Without Preparing A Reply
- Shut up and listen fully without preparing a response or offering fixes.
- Put away devices, make eye contact, nod, and create a safe space so the speaker feels seen.
Use A Three-Second Pause
- Practice a three-second pause before you respond to let the speaker finish and deepen the conversation.
- This wait time reduces reactivity, increases understanding, and often prompts the speaker to share more.
Low-Arousal Speech Builds Trust
- Active listening from managers raised trust and psychological safety by 80% in a study.
- Low-arousal communication (slow, quiet, few words) creates higher trust and feels therapeutic.
