It makes the conversation a safe zone where they can trust that they won't be shamed, criticized, blamed or otherwise negatively received. Remember, there is no connection without safety, so you want to try to create a very safe environment for the other person. Healthy relationships require safety. Ways to be less judgmental when listening may include expressing empathy for the other person or their situation seeing their point of view, even if you don't necessarily agree with it

And I have seen people, the people who speak too much, they make more mistakes than people who listen more, they understand more, and hence they speak to the point and relevant, I would say so beautifully explained by you. And the second part, which you mentioned was very good, the way you explain was something which many people don't come forward, many trainers, I would say, many speakers don't come forward and speak about. That it's

It. I always enjoy your multisegment podcasts because they are so informative. I really enjoy this topic about listening. It is a shame that we need guidance and how to listen to those who we care about or even though as we don't really know very well, that is how we get to know people. So listening is very important and just the thought of we can hear things but do we listen to learn and just a point that was brought up too

And also, let's add to that that we have two hemispheres in our brain as well, which means that we should be thinking with our big brain that we have. So, yes, I completely agree with you. And once again, I appreciate you joining me in my podcast and leaving comments. I love to hear from people. So keep on listening, and I look forward to seeing you again on a future date. Take care of yourself. Bye for now

You. Hi. Good enough. I really appreciate you joining me here again on my podcast and leaving a comment. I always love to hear from you and all my listeners. And yes, what you said about listening to understand rather than respond is so spot on. Absolutely. So many people, they're just listening to react or listening to respond, thinking about the thing that they're going to say next. Not really truly listening to the other person with the intention of understanding and learning something new
