#173. Unlocking Your Listening Superpower: How Leaders Build Connection and Confidence
Psychologically, when you are in a situation
where you're afraid, you don't listen
well, because why would you listen
very well when you think you're in significant
danger? So you don't do a lot of things well when you're afraid? So if
you are fearing rejection, something bad
happening, a person hurting you,
then you become guarded. And when we're guarded, we don't have to worry about actually
listening very well because we're going to run, we're going to run, we're going to
freeze or do something different. It's not necessary to listen well in that situation,
but it causes a big problem. That's why we have to prepare in advance
for situations that could be triggering to have a script
potentially. It's why you prepare to speak, because it triggers people. But when you let
go and you just speak and relax, but you still have your outline, it's a
great thing. People that listen well, they have a
superpower. Leaders that listen well, that's their superpower.
And there's a lot of people out there in this world that don't feel understood.
They don't feel like people hear them and listen to them. You can be that
person in their life as a leader that understands them, that
takes time for them.
So welcome to the Decide youe Legacy podcast. Today's episode is on Listening
is yous Leadership Superpower. I'm your host, Adam
Gragg. I am a family therapist. I'm a
legacy, a life coach, a leadership coach. I founded Decide youe
Legacy in 2012. And at Decide youe Legacy, we help businesses and
leaders live courageously. And
FYI, everybody is a leader. You influence your neighbors, your friends,
your family. You're in a role, any position of influence. And I have a great,
wonderful guest. He is another legacy coach at Discovery, Inside your Legacy, Sherman
Orr. And he's going to chime in today. So say, hello, Sherman. Hello,
everybody out there. I hope you get a lot from this podcast. Okay.
And so this is. I struggle with listening. You know, one reason I struggle,
Sherman, is because my emotions are very strong.
And people will say often that I don't. Some will say I
show strong emotions, some will say that I don't. I really feel
passion, very strong emotions inside. You know, if I like
something, I really like it. If I don't like
something, and I'm afraid I can carry that with me. And I don't even
always see it because I'm not self aware all the time.
And that's something I have to work on and be aware of. Every day,
yes, you have to do that. Because every day
we're called upon to listen as a leader in every situation,
whether it's at work or at home. And. And it's very easy to become defensive,
dismissive, and to engage
in all those really dismissive practices.
And that's a time when we have to stop and slow down and maybe ask
the question, why am I not able to hear? Why
am I not really listening to what this person has? Is that a struggle for
you? It is a struggle. So oftentimes when somebody will
come up to me, especially in my new role as a
legacy coach here, continuing coaching, when someone
asks me, wow, what are you doing
now? And sometimes it's a very positive question,
and oftentimes it's negative. And when I hear that
negativity in that question, it makes me want to say, oh,
they're judging me already. And so I need to just move on and get
away and become defensive instead of just saying, open,
honest, vulnerable conversation, man. If you can have the heart of
peace towards somebody and remember it's their issue, it's just noise,
it's their insecurity, it's that. And not take
it personally, then you can listen when you're defensive. I know for
me, then I really don't listen well. In fact, I think about how I can
escape or how I can defend my position. I'm not listening at that
in that situation. Fight or flight. Fight or flight. And how can
you. The best connections you ever have with people
that I ever have found is when I stick it out
to get the meat of what they're trying to express,
and they feel understood, and I feel like I've understood them.
And the connection actually occurs. What a great thing.
I mean, connection is where it's at. And I can't. I'm not saying
it's easy, but I'm saying it's absolutely 100% possible if you work on it.
And we're going to talk to you today about how you can become a better
listener. Real experiences. This is going to make you more money
in your sales job. It's going to keep your employees retained longer.
It's going to help you to interview at a much better level.
It's going to help you to increase
revenue, even increase revenue, decrease stress, give you more
sleep so you don't have to deal with the anxiety that comes from not listening
well and not feeling as if you got somewhere in your meetings,
in your relationships. It's going to strengthen you across the board. As you've said,
Adam but also in your friendships, in your
relationships, within your family. Because this isn't just business.
This is like everything. We're in a world with 8 billion
people. 8 billion people. And it's grown a lot in the last hundred years,
for sure. So something we do at every episode is we
share a fear that we have faced over the last week,
and we do that to inspire you to face your fears,
because nothing is more important to your
progress and confidence than facing your fears.
And nothing is more damaging to your confidence than playing it
safe, ultimately. And something that I have done
recently is I. I faced a fear by
having a meeting with a business leader that I didn't. That
I wanted to avoid. And Sherman knows why in the details,
But I knew that being around a
specific person was going to trigger some very strong emotions in me,
both good and bad. And I was doing all kinds of things
to actually avoid it. I had the meeting. It actually went much better than I
thought. And it didn't get. It didn't go south. It.
I felt insecure. I did. I don't know if I looked insecure, but
I felt at times insecure. And it just triggers some feelings of me that I
don't have very often. And I knew that running from it wasn't going to
be the best decision. And I'm grateful for friends, and I'm grateful to myself, but
it feels good because my confidence increased from it. I don't know if
I'm totally over the hump, but I feel like I. Made some progress, made
significant progress that way, and that's the same thing in my own life. I
am not a handyman by any stretch of the
imagination. And owning a home can be stressful at time, but I've
had a great group of friends that have been helpful to me, fixing
doors, H Vac, whatever happens to be. Well,
I knew this person was beginning to have lots
more work on their plate, but I needed to ask them to help me do
one more thing in the house, which was going to be a big project. And
I was dreading this conversation because I kind of knew in the back
of my mind that, darn, he's going to say no.
But I said, I have to have this conversation, too, even though
I know, because maybe he's going to surprise me. Maybe he's going to say, oh,
my three houses. I can ignore them for a week and help you. But
I asked the question. He was like, oh, I'm so snowed under. And I
was like, dang, that's the answer. I was afraid I was going to get.
But it's okay because now it's like, all right, he does have a good reason.
He's not abandoning me. He's doing what he needs to do. I'm like,
okay, yeah, the gut information now. And it's hard to get bad
information, but actually it's much healthier for us emotionally to get
the bad information. Yes. So if somebody, I mean,
even Wednesday I got some bad information from
an employee that I didn't want to hear, that was shocking in a way, but
it was the right information. It was a brave conversation. It was brave on all
fronts. And it was information that freed the business up to know what.
How we're going to get certain needs met that we can't get met from this
specific employee in this way any longer, at least for the time being.
But it was an honest and good and healthy conversation. So we have three big
ideas for you as a leader regarding listening. You're going to get to take away
and apply right away in your life. And so the first big
idea that I want to share is that they are not the enemy. The person
that you're talking to that could be triggering you. That makes. In your
mind, you're saying, in your own, you're probably justifying it at times saying, well,
they're going to make me feel bad or it's. They're going to share something with
me, like your friend, that's going to make me feel bad. But ultimately you're
externalizing the problem as somebody
else besides you. When it's. It is external to you. You
don't have to. I mean, even that strong emotion that you feel is external to
you. You're having a feeling of jealousy, you're having a feeling of insecurity. You're having
a feeling of excitement and joy, and you're. But
it's external to you, and it may not be based on factual information. When you
recognize that this. That
you can. That emotional reaction that you have
is coming from you, then it gives you some power. And then you can start
owning it yourself and saying, well, what am I going to do to dig deeper
with this feeling? What is it about the situation that's leading me to feel jealous?
What are the facts of the situation? What is it leading. What is about the
situation is triggering my anxiety. And then you get to dig deeper. I mean,
illustration happened yesterday situation with a
business leader and having. And the spouse of the leader came
in, which we do that from time to time because, you know, personal
relationships impact leadership performance. So we were going to unpack some situation.
And this leader had a difficult business
challenge that was involving a lot of money
and millions of dollar situation. And it involved
some attorneys and on both sides. And it was.
He was coming home from work and not communicating with his wife
about what was really going on inside of his life in his head. And so
she felt isolated from it and she felt like he
didn't trust her, I would say, in a way, like trust her
to be able to handle it in a healthy way. And he,
as he could see that in this case, she
wasn't the enemy. She was someone that wanted to support him and if they could
get to understanding. She left believing that his
big fear was that he didn't want to expose her to stress.
And he also felt like he was letting her down by having this business
stress that he was dealing with. When she wanted to support him, he was having
trouble believing that. But I. There was some tears shed. I mean, it was a
really powerful situation because they felt some understanding there. But he had to realize
he wasn't. He was. She was not the enemy. And the enemy was really
within himself, how he was dealing with that situation. Exactly.
So that was the breakthrough, is he was willing to listen
to what she was really saying and realizing,
no, she's not the enemy. She's actually my partner in life
and is going to be supportive. So in our culture today
and in our world today, it's so easy to polarize everybody. Instead of
saying they're not the enemy. The enemy oftentimes, as you've just said
in this first great big idea, is often in my
own head. Yes. So that I shut people off. I
don't listen, I can't hear what they're saying. I
immediately say, no, whatever inside my head, or
other things, thousands of other things that can go on.
And if you don't recognize that,
if you recognize that it's within yourself, then you don't have to get nearly as
defensive. It's something external to yourself that you can actually start to deal with. Yesterday,
business meeting. I'm giving you real examples because they're fresh in my mind. I was
feeling like I wanted to run from an
interaction, a situation. I mean, like literally I was feeling that way. But if I
can recognize that this is my past coming up inside of myself,
then it's not the actual current situation that is the enemy that I have to
be defensive in. It's actually this. This hurt part of
me that rises up that I can recognize and say, that's the past
coming into the present. Situation, I don't have to listen to that or react to
that. And if I can be aware of it, then I can do something
different. Then I have some power over my emotions. I can still handle
them and even not try to impress people
when that might be. My go to when I'm anxious
is to prove my worth. Big deal for
myself. And I had some victory with that. So the second.
The second big idea is to get past the
surface when you listen. You're gonna find listening to be a very
productive activity if you realize the power in getting past the
surface where you can solve the real problem. If I'm listening
to people and as a counselor for over 25 years, I mean, lots of people,
and you as a pastor for over 30 years, you've listened to a lot of
different people. And it can be easy to want to go
and skim over the actual core issue, because that may trigger me.
There's something called transference. Countertransference is a
process where we can be triggered and not want to go deeper because it relates
to something in our personal lives. And then we're transferring that to the
other person because it's something that we're unaware of in
ourselves. And if you get past the surface, then you can solve the
real issue. And that is amazing. It's amazing what happens
when you listen. And I can be.
Well, I would tell you that addiction and excuses and
avoidance tendencies that I can actually have are because
something in that situation where I don't want to have the conversation is going on
inside of me where I'm going to go ahead and become a workaholic, or I'm
going to become just fixated on something else outside of myself, because
I don't want to actually face that specific core issue. And I do it every
day. I can do it often. But if I
am willing to listen to them, then I'm going to see that
what they shared is a core issue that we can dig deeper on and they
feel understood. So yesterday, in fact, even today, a
couple situations with clients where they would share some
family dynamic that's causing issues or a personal
fear that they have that they just allude to that's causing them issues to not
go deeper. And if I don't go ahead and pick up on that, like, what
is so scary about making sales calls, or what is so
scary about holding your people accountable that I didn't
really listen if I wasn't picking up on that to ask that deeper question? Right.
Just like you said today, I mean, being able to listen to some
folks for a bit. And it was all very surface level in the very
beginning, but they were watching, and they were. They were
watching us listen. And as they saw that, then
they. When we would ask a question, this is what
we hear. Is this the issue? And they were able to say,
well, that's part of it, but it actually goes so much deeper. And they
were willing to share that with us because they saw us listening and
they were willing and we responded back to them. And then they said, okay,
here you're listening to me. You can hear me. This is
our issue. And you're providing psychological
safety. Yes. You're making it safe to connect. And you do that when you're
willing to be vulnerable yourself, which I find that the leaders have to go
first in being vulnerable, in being available to other people themselves. So
you share about a struggle that you have. I mean, I'm sharing today about some
insecurities that I have that go. Go deep that I've had to
face. I mean, I had to face them yesterday, had to face them today. I
had to face, actually, a lot of them over this last week. It's been a
big week. Think about this week and think like, yeah, okay, do I want to
share that with you? In a way, I kind of do, because there's freedom in
just being honest about your struggles, and I'm not succumbing to these things.
It means that I'm able to be more aware of my own self so
that I have power over it. So that's really encouraging to me, actually. But
I can avoid. And I can make so many excuses, and I can act like
I don't have issues when I actually do. And sometimes I have more issues than
anybody else, and I probably do in my own head. You know, it's.
So one question will lead on to the others. You miss so much if you
don't actually listen. And. And it takes away your anxiety when you practice
getting below the surface because you're picking up on the real core
problem, and that's going to connect you with people in such a deeper way,
more than you ever thought possible. Some practical things you can do
to create safety is be willing to reflect back
what you hear. It sounds like you're saying this. It sounds like you're saying
that. Am I understanding you correctly here? Is this what you were trying to say?
Powerful stuff. Staying silent and letting them talk more and
more can create psychological safety, meaning they feel safe to connect with you
because you're willing to listen to them longer and they're Going on and on. But
you're channeling it in with deeper questions. Yes. Or I mean,
open ended questions. Open ended questions. Right. You're actually picking up on what they said
and asking them more. So we had a sales conversation
over the last week with the business and they said that
picked up on something about delegation.
And that conversation
could have led. It could have been just grazed over.
But Sherman picked up on the fact that it was a
deeper issue, I think. Well, I picked up on the fact that it was a
deeper issue and it was one where there was a whole bunch of potential
to discuss. Well, what is going on there? And you can think of that with
your kids. I bet you experience that where your kids want to gloss over an
issue and then you have the ability to actually ask for a deeper
understanding in that situation. Or you have a
spouse that maybe wants to gloss over the issue and not go deeper. And they're
very good. And people do become very skilled at actually staying on the service level.
Right. Distraction, defensiveness. Yes. I'm
busy. I don't have time for that. It's amazing. Let's
sweep it under the rug and we'll get to it maybe next year. Right. And
your good friends and the people that really want to help you and the coaches
that you hire that really want to help you, they're not going to let you
do that. Yesterday I. This is a crazy thing, but I had a client that
I challenged with her busyness because it was consistently
I challenged to say, you know, hey, sometimes this is my perception. I could be
wrong, but it seems like you're too busy for me to
challenge you between our sessions sometimes, especially when it's on these
specific topics related to this issue that I perceive.
And just so you know, I disguise the genders of my clients
sometimes. So if you're listening out there, I may be talking about you and I
may not. There's a lot of consistent, common problems. Avoidance is
one of the big ones. Even for these high performing, successful people. They avoid in
areas where there's the most. The most discomfort. But we don't want you
to do that because we know there's going to be a breakthrough at the other
end of that process right there. So the third,
the third big idea, and this is really a
big idea when you think about it, because you may not actually think of it
this way, is to put intentional time into practicing your
listening skills. Because for most of you, listening can bet
you can. I bet you can relate. You want to talk about yourself at
times. You want people to understand you. And it doesn't
seem like they're going to understand you better or what you're trying to sell
or what you're trying. The point you're trying to make if you're just listening
to them. But I would challenge you to have
conversations even when you're trying to get to know a new business.
A lot of business leaders listening out there, you're trying to make sales, you're trying
to build relationships. But if you listen to somebody and just get to know them
and ask about them and their personal life, and you don't make any kind of
sales pitch, you don't make any kind of ask, that could be a very
valuable interaction. I'm not saying you don't have to ask. You do have to ask,
because that's why you're in business. You have to make revenue, but ultimately you're in
business to help other people. Sounds a little bit strange sometimes, but you're
building that level of trust. And if you're listening, and I'm not saying to
anybody listening, that you don't have to ask for the money, because you do, because
you won't have a business if you don't. And you can see it's a both
and, and you can see that there's great value in an understanding. You're going to
get that ripe opportunity. You're still going to have to take it, and you still
might want to avoid it to actually get some new business. But you're still going
to want to say, hey, can we get this proposal to you? And
let's talk it through next week. It still has to happen, and it's a very
important thing to happen. And you leave
them in interactions where they feel valued and heard, your kids, your family,
it's going to have a huge impact. You have to practice listening.
It's something that, of course, I've been doing my whole life, is
practicing listening. I haven't been always the best
listener because oftentimes I kind of like Adam
said, modalities, and you kind of already know where this is going and
you're formulating your answer before they finish talking, and it's
like, no. And I noticed about probably 10 years ago that
I wasn't able to listen very well, and
it continued to get worse and worse and worse. And I
finally decided I'm going to go see an
audiologist and see what's going on. And
I'm probably now one of the most outspoken advocates
for hearing aids that anybody would know. And so I went to an
audiologist so that I could listen better.
They call them hearing aids. But hearing is,
most of us hear lots of things. Your brain blocks out 90%
of what you actually hear. But listening is a
skill, it's an art form. And so I was recognizing the loss of
hearing was impacting how I could listen. And so I
really went in there and I said, what can I do? I
don't know what's going on. And he was, he explained everything to me and
said, you're not too young. I was under 50 when
I got them. And he said, you're not too young. Get started early.
And I love it because now I can
hear and that helps me listen better, even
though there's lots of people out there that need it. And one thing or another,
whether it's maybe vanity or whatnot, I don't care.
And 90% of the people don't know I have them, but they're
absolutely necessary. So you have to practice
listening, not practice hearing. Practice listening. The hearing aids actually
helped you listen? Yes, because I could understand
everything they said, whereas beforehand I would miss words from
time to time. And I just like, this doesn't make sense. And you can be
prepared to listen. In sales, handling objections
is a very valuable skill to know what those objections are going to be, because
you've created a list of what they might be. And when those
objections come, like it's too expensive, or
we're not ready because we need
more time to make the decision, or we need to see your
references, we need to have more information on the roi.
And those things can be valuable information for them to have, but
they're also objections that you can handle. So what is it about the ROI
that you need? You have follow up questions, questions to answer those objections.
What is so expensive about it? Or what do you feel like the
value would be if you engaged
to deal with that expenditure? And if they can say
wholeheartedly that it's, well, if I spend $10,000, I see this
making us $100,000 over the next six
months, well, that's gonna answer their question right then. But you only would have gotten
to that if you listen to their objections. One of my buddies, Luke, who is
really good salesperson, he's told me today, because we were talking about this very subject,
says, I love objections. I love objections, you know, because people will come and
say, well, you're 15% higher. He owns a signed business, by the way, so you're
15% higher than the signs that we've priced out in this
market. And he says, yeah, you're right. You know, because we
offer this and this and this. It gives them a chance to answer that objection
in a way that's going to convince them and show them the value.
Objections are necessary for someone to understand the value. So you can
practice that. You can practice. What are you going to do when someone's
defensive that you're supervising? What question are you going to ask them? How are
you going to listen? How are you going to listen for understanding? How are you
going to stay calm? You practice by dealing with your own anxiety as you step
in. I had to practice dealing with my own anxiety in the situation I
faced yesterday. I had to know that in that situation, I'm probably going to have
this tendency to want to. Not to want to do X, Y and Z. When
I know the healthy thing. If I am confident, then I'm going to do this
and this and this. And so I could think of those things in advance and
say, well, I'm going to have a game plan and have fun and be myself.
Because that was the challenge for me in times where my little old Adam comes
out. I'm not myself, dude. I'm not. Because sometimes people don't get to know me.
Like my family, for example, you know, I've lived as a.
In a certain way sometimes with them, and I let my. My true colors come
out. And sometimes they're shocked because I'm extroverted. You know, I feel
like I care about people and I want to help people, but I'm
also not the person that I've been in other
situations around those dynamics because of not
being. Because of not being courageous, because of being anxious.
Can you think of situations where you may. Could really use some
practice listening, Sherman? Oh, every day. I mean,
I think it's always. What are the triggering situations where you're like, okay, I can
practice an advanced listen in that situation because I know it's going to come up
for me. Oh, I would say definitely, like you said in sales,
objections to what we do and being able to go
through it and have those at hand to be able to say, okay, when
you say this, that, or the other thing. And then it's. Part of it is
they have a real objection. I've listened to it. What are they saying?
And then being able to say, like an ROI or anything like that, it's
like, well, here's. I hear what you're saying. You're saying,
your return may not be as great as you want, but the thing is,
this is the. A magical product. This is going to help
you in every part of your life. And that's why I'm here. Yeah.
Getting to the point where you can know what the real problem is so that
you can solve the problem or offer them a solution. But you're only going to
get there if you listen really well. So in a sales conversation, hopefully, I
think, I mean, I don't know how much time we spent talking. I spent
talking today, but I would hope it was
they talked 70% of the time, maybe.
And if not, then maybe I'm not doing the right thing. I'd say it
was 40% of the time, but they were
talking because they knew both of us were listening.
It was very powerful. I thought you thought they were talking 40% of the time.
No, we were talking 40%. We talked 40 and they talked 60. Yeah, that's
probably a good ratio. Yeah. My self awareness is not always great with
that. I can be a talker and I am an eye on the disc. That's
what I do is I can talk too much. But the
challenge too, with me not wanting to practice is because
I want to get my point across and I want to get across efficiently
and I want it to get across quickly. But that hurts me because
I'm not understanding what the actual real problem is. And I'm making it about myself,
not. About them, which, remember, you're
the enemy. They aren't. I know. So big stuff,
big deal. I had.
I had some situation that I want to wrap things up about.
Listening is. Well, daughter's away in college and she's had
some struggles based on just. She goes to college in
Boston, you know, and she's been there for a month and a half. We talk
weekly. And she's been telling me again and again, like, it's great. I'm having such
a great time. And I believe her. I mean, she, she would tell me if
she was, and I definitely trust that. But this week it was a little bit
different. She said she had a hard day on Monday and Tuesday and I asked
her why, what was going on and tried to listen, tried to understand. And at
first she said nothing and this and that. And then
luckily I listened to some friends who were helping me to understand what
kids go through their first semester of college and how being alone can be a
challenge. It's my only daughter, never experienced this before, but
I dug deeper and I shared about,
first of all, my struggles and how a lot of people will struggle
when they're doing something new and it can sneak up to the on them and
it's all. It's my, my experience. I shared my,
my challenges I've had with change and new things. And then she started to open
up, and she opened up in a pretty deep way. It was like
she's struggling with just the change of being
an adult. And it came. And what is that like? I
got to ask her some more questions and more questions. And then what happened is
I was talking to Sherman and Kelsey because I shared with
them and I listened to their feedback and they asked me some questions to
get more depth of the interaction. And then they encouraged
me to go out and visit her, which, it's my birthday coming up. And so
I decided that I was going to go and say, hey, I. I would
love to come out and see you. We can celebrate my birthday. And she was
really excited about that, you know, and I'm, I'm, I got a ticket to go
out. I'm going to go out for three days, two nights in Boston, celebrate, get
some good lobster, have a good time, get to see my daughter. Haven't seen her
in a month and a half. It's a long time to not see your daughter.
I mean, there's never, never not seen her that long in my life. Of course,
be in the same room with her. That's a, That's a big deal. That's really
