Billy used to think good communication meant having the right answers. Then he watched his wife Suzy transform a conversation just by saying "Man, that really sounds awful, doesn't it?" while he was gearing up for full-on "Dad Advice Mode." That inspired his "What Would Suzy Do?" protocol: wait until someone finishes speaking, ask a follow-up question, and resist the urge to solve. This chapter covers four research-backed tools for communication that actually connects, not the "I hear words" kind, but the deep "I see you, I get you, and I'm with you" kind.
