Episode description
In this episode, we’re exploring our element of curiosity alongside the third aspect of deep listening which is “seeing the person’s innocence.” This can be a tough aspect considering what may be a more common tendency to listen with the lens of “seeing the other person’s problem” or “seeing the person’s solution.” Problem is, those lenses make it nearly impossible to listen well. We'll talk about the practices to overcome those obstacles and to help us listen with an intention that creates more open, effective, and fulfilling conversations.Links and Sources:
