Oscar Trimboli is an author, host of the Apple award-winning podcast Deep Listening and a sought-after keynote speaker. He is passionate about using the gift of listening to bring positive change in homes, workplaces, and cultures around the world.

Oscar’s framework expands listening beyond simply hearing another person’s words. The conversation covers five levels—from listening to yourself and the content through to context, what is unsaid and the meaning beneath it—and shows how small changes can make conversations more useful.

Episode takeaways
#

  • Listening begins with noticing your own distractions and internal dialogue.
  • Electronic notifications are a common barrier to being fully present in a conversation.
  • Shorter, less biased questions give other people more room to explain what they mean.
  • Strong listeners pay attention to context, patterns and what remains unsaid—not only the words they hear.
