About this listen

In this episode, I’m digging into one of the most essential (and often overlooked) leadership skills: having truly effective conversations.

We explore where our focus goes during high-stakes chats - are we tuned into what we can control, or tangled in assumptions about how others might react?

I’ll share the difference between listening to respond vs. listening to understand, how to balance push vs. pull communication styles, and why planning matters more than we often admit.

Whether you're preparing for a difficult conversation or simply want to communicate more intentionally, this episode is a powerful reminder that the way we talk changes what gets done.

Here are the highlights:

Focus on Controllable Aspects (1:58)

Balancing Listening to Respond and Understand (3:55)

Push-Pull Communication (9:11)

Planning for Effective Conversations (11:40)
