What the lesson explores

Select a topic to see every lesson in which it appears
Does this sound like your situation?

This is for you when…

  1. You discuss terms but keep returning only to your own position.
  2. The people in the conversation understand bonuses and compensation differently.
  3. You want to reach an agreement without turning the interaction into an attempt to extract as much as possible from the other person.
Why watch

What will become clearer

  1. How your expectations can prevent you from hearing a person's actual position.
  2. Why it matters to understand the relationship, the terms, and the other party's possibilities.
  3. What the author means when he talks about moving forward together and mutual benefit.
From watching to applying

What to do after the lesson

01
Return to a recent conversation about working terms.
02
Look at what you were actually told and what you added yourself.
03
In the next conversation, clarify a term you are currently only assuming.
A question about your own situation

Do I hear this person, or only my own idea of them?

The questions and actions after watching were suggested by the catalog’s editors. They are neither quotations nor the author’s original assignments.

An important distinction

A meaning to preserve

The ability to hear goes beyond a conversational technique. In this discussion, maximum benefit does not mean manipulation or extracting everything possible from another person.

Check your expectations before choosing

What you should know

Not a course in manipulation, conversation scripts, or guaranteed pay raises.

Follow the connections

What it connects with

Editorial connections between ideas: where to turn for another perspective. These are not required prerequisites.

Open materials
