Anyone who is married will understand this statement: there's a big difference between really listening and fixing problems. And when there's a mismatch between what a spouse needs and what you're trying to provide, it's a quick recipe for a conversation to go awry!

And what is that difference? One is fixing problems, and one is creating a container. 

In this episode, I talk about this difference from my own experience, both on the interview set and through conversations with my lovely wife. My lovely wife who, graceful as she is, is patient with me when I jump into problem solving when what's really needed is creating a space for her to solve it for herself. And vise versa.

I also talk about how this out-pictures in an interview studio as well.

Husbands, this episode is for you! And you wives too. Really anyone who is an incorrigible problem solver, like I am too!
