Three guests. One shared truth, listening is hard work.
„Listening is never about you. It’s always about the other.” — Corinne Jansen, Global Listening Movement
„When people really want to be listened to, there’s often a kind of undercurrent of… is it safe? Will I be judged?” — Jenny Smith, receptive listening practitioner
„In order for young people to be able to talk to adults — particularly to parents — they have to feel that they’re being listened to.” — Dr. John Coleman OBE, psychologist & author
Real listening isn’t about having the right words. It’s about creating the right conditions. Safety first. Presence first. The other person first, always.
This is what our latest Perspectives episode is really about. And it’s the heart of everything we do at The Informed Perspective, including our Are You REALLY Listening? events, where we create intentional space for parents and young people to genuinely hear each other.
