We often summarize conversations to show we’re listening, but simple summaries don’t always make people feel heard. Capturing the essence—recognizing emotions and core messages—deepens conversations and builds trust.
In this episode, I explore how leaders and coaches can develop this skill to connect more meaningfully and communicate with greater impact.
Main Ideas:
- Why simple summaries don’t always make people feel heard.
- The difference between summarizing and capturing the essence.
- How to recognize emotions and core messages in conversations.
- Practical ways to use essence statements in leadership and coaching.
- How this skill builds trust and strengthens communication.
How can you start using essence statements to create deeper connections?
