Episode notes
Name Communication Styles First
- Ask which communication style someone uses before judging their behavior.
- Use low-stakes conversations to learn rather than to correct or shame.
Listen To Learn, Not To Win
- Notice your listening posture: learn, fix, defend, or hijack.
- Listening to learn lowers reactivity and opens better conversations.
Make Fixing A Deliberate Choice
- Pause and ask God to guide whether to fix, defend, or stay curious.
- Treat fixing as a deliberate choice, not an automatic reaction.
