Capturing essence in conversations builds trust, deepens connections, and improves communication.

We often summarize conversations to show we're listening, but simple summaries don't always make people feel heard. Capturing the essence—recognizing emotions and core messages—deepens conversations and builds trust.

In this episode, I explore how leaders and coaches can develop this skill to connect more meaningfully and communicate with greater impact.

Main Ideas:

• Why simple summaries don't always make people feel heard.
• The difference between summarizing and capturing the essence.
• How to recognize emotions and core messages in conversations.
• Practical ways to use essence statements in leadership and coaching.
• How this skill builds trust and strengthens communication.

How can you start using essence statements to create deeper connections?
