Stop Selling. Start Understanding. With Karen Fox (Episode 277)

Aug 25, 2026

In today’s episode, you’ll discover:

1. You will learn why people often hear the same message differently, and how misunderstanding can quietly cost sales, trust, and long-term relationships.
2. You will understand the way people process information can help you connect more effectively, ask better questions, and communicate with greater impact.
3. Why human connection is still the competitive advantage.

To support these three takeaways, I chose a quote from Roy T. Bennett:

"Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words."
