    How Listening Can Transform Your Conversations with Jessica Ball

    We like to think we’re good listeners—but are we really? Too often, we drift in and out of conversations, half-hearing what’s being said while planning what to say next. So how do we shift from passive hearing to deep, intentional listening - the kind that transforms relationships, builds trust, and even changes lives?

    In this episode, we’re joined again by Jessica Ball, a meetings facilitator who knows that listening is more than just hearing words—it’s about creating connection.

    Together we explore:

    • Why most of us default to “social listening” (and how it’s holding us back).
    • The three levels of listening - to yourself, to others, and to a group.
    • How our biases, emotions, and assumptions shape what we hear.
    • Why no one is truly boring if you know how to unlock their story.
    • How listening can be the antidote to polarisation, judgement, and disconnection.
    • Simple techniques to sharpen your listening skills - for richer, more meaningful conversations.

    If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling unheard - or realised too late that you weren’t really listening - this episode is for you.
