Show Summary: In this episode . . .
Hearing the words coming out of someone’s MOUTH is not the same thing as your brain being able to decode the information they are sharing. What’s the difference in HEARING (i.e., audition) and LISTENING (i.e, accurately decoding spoken language)? Doc Heath & The TBAL Team discuss common communication confusion and dig into the value of listening FAST or listening DEEP. Both have value. Both have their place in relationships. The key is deciding when to use one or the other.
During this “Communication Decoding & Deepening” episode, the TBAL Team discusses their own experiences & struggles with communication & PRO TIPS they’ve learned along their pathway of life experience & clinician education. You’ll hear a HEAP of healthy techniques to use with YOUR family, your parenting, & your life.
TOP TAKEAWAYS for TODAY:
1) LISTENING is not the same as DECODING (i.e., true understanding).
2) There is a time for listening FAST but there is a time for listening DEEP.
3) Avoiding the 4-Deadly D’s of Communication: Denying, Dismissing, Deflecting, Defending.
4) The value of listening to UNDERSTAND versus to RESPOND.
5) The value of responding with BETTER questions instead of one of the 4-D’s.
6) Seasoning YOUR listening experiences with CURIOSITY instead of JUDGEMENT.
“Effective communication is the machinery that cultivates your relationships to deeper levels.”
