Listen to understand

Phase: Go Deeper Together
Today's talk · preview

Day 47. Today, we go deeper on listening.

On Day 3, you learned to listen without fixing. Today, we add one skill. Repeat back what you heard before you respond.

It sounds simple. It changes everything. Most arguments aren't about the thing. They're about one person not feeling heard. When you say, so what I'm hearing is, you feel alone when I work late, is that right? something softens. They don't have to keep saying it louder.

the rest is in the app
