Why do some conversations leave us feeling unheard and disconnected? Former BBC journalist, executive coach, and mediator Emily Kasriel argues that it’s because we've forgotten how to truly listen.
Distracted by our own agenda, we so often hear without understanding, impatiently waiting for our turn to speak, says Kasriel. Drawing from her book Deep Listening, she introduces an innovative approach to transformative conversations, illustrating how shifting from surface-level exchanges to more profound encounters can enrich our relationships as friends, parents, and partners, as well as enhance our effectiveness as leaders and strengthen the social fabric.
At a time when divisions within communities, organizations, and families can be a source of pain, Kasriel offers a reminder that we can listen to and better understand each other, even when we fiercely disagree. And in the process we can reconnect with others and bridge divides—and contribute to a more empathetic and resilient society.
Kasriel’s book, Deep Listening: Transform Your Relationships with Family, Friends, and Foes (William Morrow), is available for sale.
