We’ve been taught that good listeners don’t interrupt—but what if the right kind of interrupting is exactly what great leaders do?

Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “That should’ve gone better”?

You said the words.

They said the words.

But something still missed the mark.

Here’s the truth: It’s not what you said. It’s what you didn’t hear.

In this episode, I sit down with listening expert Christine Miles, who challenges what you think it means to truly listen. Are you listening to reply—or listening to understand?

We unpack:

• Why most people retain only 17–25% of what’s said (yep, you read that right)
• How to shift from half-hearing to fully leading
• And the underrated art of interrupting to understand—not interrupting to tell
  
  
• Christine shares powerful tools you can use right away:
