Hearing is not listening.
Speaking is not communicating.
Humans listen for about seven seconds before we start formulating our own response.
We’re no longer trying to understand, we’re preparing to defend, explain, fix or prove.
And men and women often communicate differently. Women may speak to connect and process; men may listen for the problem they’re supposed to solve.
Neither is wrong, but without understanding the difference, one feels unheard while the other feels like nothing they say is right.
Real communication starts when we stop preparing our response and get curious about what the other person is actually trying to say.
