I’ve noticed something in a lot of people, especially in interviews or uncomfortable conversations. They don’t really listen. They’re already forming their next sentence before the other person even finishes. It’s not arrogance. It’s insecurity. They’re scared of being caught off guard, of saying the wrong thing, or of being judged. You’ll see it in interviews all the time. Someone asks a question, and instead of pausing to think, the person jumps straight into a response. Not because they want to connect, but because silence feels unsafe. But that’s the problem. If you’re already preparing what to say next, you’re not truly listening. You’re reacting, not connecting. 🟥 Question 1: When someone challenges you, do you genuinely listen first, or do you start preparing your answer before they’re done speaking? 🟥 Question 2: Why do you think so many people struggle to just sit in silence and actually hear what’s being said?

Salam Everyone I'm 24 years old from Dublin. Here to improve my communication and relationship building skills. Something I struggle with when it comes to speaking is the ability to think on the spot and let my words flow freely in a manner that will keep people engaged. I feel as if I'm in my own head too much or don't have the knowledge to speak in certain situations so stay quiet too often

I’ll be hosting a live call soon (TBC) Before I plan it, I want to know what you struggle with the most so I can tailor it around you. - Here are a few areas to think about: - Speaking clearly and confidently - Knowing what to say under pressure - Holding eye contact or managing nerves - Structuring your thoughts before you speak - Staying calm when challenged Be specific in the comments ⬇️ The more detail you share, the more practical we can make the session.
