Ximena Vengoechea on Listening Like You Mean It for Better Productivity
I’m excited revisit this conversation with Ximena Vengoechea to the show to discuss her book, Listen Like You Mean It: Reclaiming the Lost Art of True Connection. Ximena is a user researcher, author, and expert in communication and active listening. Her book explores how we can deepen our conversations, overcome common listening mistakes, and foster meaningful connections in both personal and professional settings.
In this conversation, we cover:The Art of Listening: Why many of us think we’re listening when we’re actually just waiting for our turn to speak.
Levels of Listening: The difference between surface listening and empathetic listening, and why the latter is key to deeper relationships.
Hidden Needs in Conversations: How both we and the person we're speaking with bring unspoken expectations into every interaction.
The Role of Curiosity, Humility, and Empathy: How these three qualities shape more meaningful and engaged conversations.
Avoiding Common Listening Mistakes: Why we often get distracted, how body language impacts connection, and how to stay present.
Handling Difficult Conversations: Tips for navigating emotionally charged discussions while maintaining genuine understanding.
The Impact of Technology on Communication: How devices can subtly diminish empathy and connection, and what to do about it.
Ximena’s insights will help you become a better listener, improve your relationships, and create more meaningful connections in every conversation.
