About this episode

Former BBC executive Emily Kasriel reveals eight practical steps to transform any conversation through the art of deep listening, from healing family relationships to bridging seemingly impossible divides.


Drawing from research across boardrooms and conflict zones, she shares surprising insights about how small changes in how we listen can lead to breakthrough moments of connection, plus why walking side-by-side creates better conversations than sitting face-to-face. Based on her new book, Deep Listening: Transform Your Relationships with Family, Friends, and Foes, this conversation offers practical tools for anyone seeking to create more meaningful connections in our increasingly disconnected world.
