In this instructional YouTube segment, Andresa Guidelli (Speaker A) asks about strategies women can use to respond effectively in conversations. Speaker B emphasizes the importance of active listening, contrasting it with the common habit of listening merely to formulate a response. The speaker outlines key components of active listening: staying fully present in the moment, avoiding mental distraction, genuinely hearing the speaker’s words, and showing empathy before replying. The advice is positioned as a practical tool for women (and anyone) to improve communication by prioritizing understanding over quick rebuttal.

Chapters

Are there other strategies or other tools that women can do or steps they can take so they can respond?
It's really active listening. A lot of people oftentimes listen to respond versus listening to hear what the person is actually saying. So you need to be in the present moment. I talk about being in the present moment often because when people are talking, oftentimes their mind is somewhere else or their mind is like, okay, what do I need to say to respond to what this person is saying? Rather than reflecting on the words that are really coming out of this person's mouth, really being empathetic and paying attention before actually responding to that individual. So really utilizing active listening skills.
