Technique for Separating Oneself from the Conversation
In this podcast episode, the speaker discusses a technique to help listeners separate themselves from the conversation in order to improve their listening skills. The speaker advises asking a simple question at the beginning of the conversation: 'What will make this a great conversation for you?' By understanding the other person's perspective and goals, the listener can better align their listening with the speaker's needs. Additionally, if the other person doesn't ask the same question, the listener should express what would make the conversation great for them. This approach allows for a clearer and more focused interaction, avoiding getting caught up in unnecessary conflict or distractions.
