Listen "55: The Two Words to Better Understanding Someone’s Thinking"
Episode Synopsis
When we live and work closely with others, we think we know exactly what they’re going to say, how they’re approaching something, and how they see the world. The truth, though, is that we don’t. Making assumptions prevents curiosity and a deeper understanding of others. What if you had an easy and simple way to assume less and be curious more? You would not only gain a fuller understanding of those around you, you’d also hear information to then guide your conversation into a more productive direction. In this episode, Leadership Coach Deb Elbaum shares a two-word phrase that, when added to a question, immediately creates a coaching opportunity for one person to clarify and share their point of view, and for the other person to practice coaching and listening. If you’re ready for a fun and powerful phrase to turn any conversation into a curious coaching moment, press the play button now. Full transcript at https://debelbaum.com/podcast/
