Episode notes
Prioritize Genuine Curiosity
- Be more interested than interesting: ask curious questions and listen fully.
- Shut up after asking and invite them to go deeper so they feel seen.
Praise To Shape Identity
- Give people a reputation to live up to by praising their highest self publicly.
- Speak about them as who they can become so they adopt that identity and act accordingly.
Criticism Triggers Defensive Pain
- Avoid criticism because it triggers defensive, pain-like responses in the brain.
- Start with appreciation and address behavior, not identity, to keep people receptive.
