"We hear the message through our own insecurity." In this episode of the ROG podcast, Shannon Cassidy discusses the concept of defensive listening, a barrier to effective communication. She explains how defensive listening occurs when individuals filter messages through their insecurities or fears, leading to combative or withdrawn responses. Shannon provides clues to identify defensive listening in oneself and offers three strategies to overcome it: pausing before responding, seeking clarification, and embracing empathy. By practicing these strategies, individuals can foster genuine connections and enhance their relationships. Shannon Cassidy is Founder and CEO of Bridge Between, Inc.
