In This Episode, You'll Get Some Great Tips on How To Overcome Conversational Blind Spots...

There can be five conversational blind spots:

  • Assuming that others see what we see, feel what we feel and also think what we think.
  • The failure to realise that fear, trust & distrust changes how we see and interpret reality and therefore how we talk about it.
  • An inability to stand in each other’s shoes when we are fearful or upset.
  • The assumptions that we remember what others say. We drop out of conversations every 12-18 secs to process what people are saying..
  •  Assuming that meaning resides in the speaker, when in fact it resides in the listener until the speaker takes the time to validate and link back to make sure both have the same picture and shared meaning.
