40. How Well Do We Listen?
Oscar Trimboli is someone who has redefined what it means to truly listen—not just to others, but to ourselves and what goes unsaid in every conversation. Oscar is the award-winning host of the Deep Listening podcast and author of How to Listen: Discover the Hidden Key to Better Communication. People are actually really bad at actually listening. In fact, within ten minutes of this podcast episode, you’ll start losing focus. By the end, I’ll be lucky if you remember 25% of what was said. Oscar is asking us to really look at how to create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and understood.As someone who has researched how toxic leadership erodes women leaders’ sense of safety, belonging, and esteem, Oscar’s message resonates deeply with me. In toxic environments, listening often breaks down or is non existent.. Conversations are navigated for survival. Oscar’s framework shows us that listening itself can be an act of restoration—of dignity, of agency, and of psychological safety.In this episode, we’re diving into how listening can help us reclaim our voices and how we can all become more present, aware, and supportive listeners in every space we occupy.More information on Oscar Trimboli:WebsiteBook: How to ListenOscar’s Podcast: Deep Listening - Impact beyond words------------------------------------Want to work with us?
