The Biggest Obstacle To Real Communicati...

PATRICK KING
About this episode

• Everyone can learn to be better at communication, listening, and being heard. This can improve every kind of relationship, as well as help you deal with difficult people and conflict.

• Cultivating empathetic, meaningful, and genuine connections with others means being aware of the barriers to that connection and committing to removing them.

• One significant obstacle is the mindset that positions others as enemies or adversaries rather than collaborators on the same team. A healthier approach is “it’s you and me versus the problem.” Disagreement and difference are not necessarily a threat if both parties are dedicated to working together.
