How Good Listening Impacts the Speaker

A Podcast Recommendation

There’s a myriad of information out there about listening and I’ve read a lot of it but I hadn’t thought about how good listening might help a speaker form clearer thoughts. In this podcast episode from Hidden Brain, host Shankar Vedantam interviews psychologist Guy Itzchakov about how thoughtful listening benefits both people in the conversation.

You’ll hear about Itzchakov’s research that shows that good listening makes speakers feel better, helps them open up, and even helps the speaker become clearer about what they think and believe!

It’s an interesting episode and worth the listen.
