UK 4 slash ISA. Hello and welcome back to Beyond the To-Doo List, a podcast about productivity.

I'm your host, Eric Fisher, and this episode is a re-release of a conversation

I had with Hemena Vengalcea, a researcher, author, and expert in communication and active listening.

Now, I just concluded a conversation that I recently recorded with her, but it made me think

of this past episode that is a hidden gem in the catalog all about

her book, Listen Like You Mean It, reclaiming the Lost Art of True Connection. In this conversation,

we're talking about the art of listening and why many of us think that we're listening

when we're actually just waiting for our turn to speak, and that there are different levels

of listening, and the difference between surface listening, empathetic listening, and that there are different levels of listening, and the difference between

surface listening, empathetic listening, and why the latter is key to deeper relationships.

Also, how there are hidden needs in conversations, and how both we and the person we're speaking

with bring unspoken expectations into every interaction and about

how to avoid common listening mistakes, why we often get distracted when we're in conversation,

how body language impacts connection, and how to stay present. Jimenez insights will help you

become a better listener, I know I could improve on that. Improve your

relationships and create more meaningful connections with every conversation you have. So, enjoy this

conversation with Hemena Vengocea. Well, this week, it is my privilege to welcome to the show.

Hima Vengocea, welcome to the show.
