Some great takeaways from Chris:
Listen to understand and not listen to respond…there is a huge difference ;-)
Remain neutral - it gives you space for new listening.
Be genuinely curious - it’s simply more fun connecting with people that way
Messages are getting lost - make sure people get to understand you
Be there to unpack and not to influence
Help and not just listen
Some people can’t handle change - perhaps sometimes we need to face that
Men somehow still cannot get into women's space - or was it the other way around? ;-)
