Got a two-fold episode for you today, the first part being a recap of my summer trip with my wife, Kelsey, and the second part a little education on why you’re probably not as good of a listener as you think. Most people think they’re great listeners, but so few of us actually feel heard or understood by the people in our lives—that’s why becoming a great listener is the ultimate competitive advantage. When people feel listened to, they become less anxious, less extreme in their beliefs, more self-aware, and more open to change. Getting good at listening is important for us as coaches, but also as human beings, trying to make the world a little better. Listen to the full episode for 12 blocks you might face in your listening, or if you want to know the best-of-the-best from our west coast road trip.
