Hello Stephen and team, is there a reason that you've removed the time stamps? I like watching video's all the way through but then when I want to take notes, I love being able to know where each part of the conversation is. I'm guessing it was perhaps a change to increase time watched? Anyway, thanks for the content, appreciate it! :)
As a psychotherapist, I listen for a living and speak with conscious intention. This speaker has refreshed my commitment to always improving my skills and remembering, moment by moment, that my presence, the embodiment of honest, authenticity, integrity, and listening, is the very means of the service I offer
Psychotherapist as well, and I saw a lot of people in my graduate training soo focused on the techniques and research, when the deepest most important aspect of effective therapy is non-judgmental listening. My dedication in practice and life has always been purely humanistic, so I completely agree. Blessings, friends 🙏
Stephen you are so correct! I click on the podcast link every Monday and Thursday regardless of the name. Why? Because I trust your team to deliver quality content.
🇬🇧 not being as consistent in my watching schedule BUT I AM in watching every episode that is produced - isn’t he So on point SO consistently?! I hold his opinion in such high esteem ✌🏼
"Uncomfortable is a call for assessment" Wow, love it. From here on I will look into why I don't listen to those who are way off from my values and principles. Thank you for interviewing him, Stephen.
I have to state that I was never a podcast listener. I'm a little impatient. But after listening to one of your shows I look forward to them. I appreciate your work.
Fascinating to hear someone promoting what I would call 'compassionate assertiveness'. As an introvert, life long people pleaser who suffered burnout in my early 40s, I've done a lot of soul searching / reflection and work on being assertive with compassion to others. No guaranteed outcomes and certainly not easy but better than my old ways! Thank you Julian and Steven.
It is human to judge someone who doesn't or can't articulate themselves properly - but it's also sad. This is why it is so important to invest in yourself by developing overall communication skills. Very insightful interview, thanks.
Some of the treasures that I gathered from Julian speech: 1. Listening 👂is the sound of democracy. 2. With conscious listening, the result is always understanding.🧐 3. There is usually a good reason for what people say or do.👍 4. Honesty should be tempered with love.❤️
The Buddha; “ Only speak if it serves a better purpose than your silence”. That translates into only speak if you have no personal interest in being heard. Remain silent as long as your honesty tells you that your views are biased. This is the noble path for those that aspire towards the ultimate truth and enlightenment. For everyone else, do whatever you please!
Stephen, you are such a lucid and sensitive podcaster. The guests you bring to the show are of course brilliant in themselves, and from this episode, I understand how much care goes into cherry-picking persons that we as the audience can connect to. You give us a deep belief that you genuinely care about us on the other side of the screen. But also your energy to seamlessly bind with the personality on the other side of the table is so enchanting. And above that, your team does a miraculous job of turning the conversations into artistic visual and auditory experiences as well. What I would maybe ask for is, if it would be possible, to get links to books, videos, and other content that is mentioned in the conversation in the description? It would be easier for deep-diving on the topic ... and maybe a plant or two in the studio 😅🪴 Thank you ever so much for pursuing this path. The world is changing for the better because of you and your team
He's right about that. They didn't teach me how to speak publically. I learned how to do it on my own. What they did let us do in school was read aloud. But, I remember when I got into show business: I narrated my first show on my own with my team as teenager. I pulled it off enough that there was an interest in management. One of the things he said was about breathing. I had no problem in that area , because I trained in Martial Arts. Part of Martial Arts is the art of breathing. When you punch somebody you constantly breathing out. I learned some Yoga techniques as well. I also had some singing lessons where I learned how to breath effectively. I'm a singer by the way. I've worked in a Gospel group for years. Learning how to use the diaphragm. Plus now I do my own RU-vid videos where by I narrate my own stories on Artists I care about. I found my niche with that. It has gotten better. I notice the stories which was narrated well. I got the most views. So he's right its a skill. Like him. I'm not so much of an extrovert. But, I've learned to overcome that when its vital to be an extrovert in the things I enjoyed to do. It has paid off.
This could be an eyeopener for social media, where having a differrent opinion throws people into attack mode. What they don't understand is that this behavior wins no one over and fir people like me brings out resistance mode. I hope more people are encouraged to maaintain & share their opinion without caving to popular opinion or mob mentality.
36:17 I was failing everything because I wouldn't sleep at night due to CPTSD from my parents constantly fighting, but saving the worst for when we went to bed (when we could obviously hear them). I'd sleep on the bus and in history class. Math felt impossible to me. Then we started doing algebra and at first it felt absolutely foreign but once I got it, I really got it. I was so proud to take my test results out to my dad (our bus driver) and show him.. I got 98%. I was exploding with pride and excitement in anticipation. He said, "where's the other 2%?" Stabbed me in the heart. Perfectionism has ruined me and I'm only 41. I'm just now starting to realize how all this happened.. my current "situation". Now I'm going to heal that part of me and move TF on. I'm perfectly imperfect. I'm good enough and that is enough.
I am a language trainer and I watched his TED about speaking skills n trust me it was a turning point in my class and my life, as I have a firm believe " communication is the key". ❤ Respect ❤
This episode is the epitome of perfectly timed in every way. I needed this information SO much more than I realized. This is my new obsession. I am so excited to explore this further and finally master the art of being heard.
In all the episodes I’ve watched so far you go off down rabbit holes with people that are so fascinating then pull it back to link in with the original point, amazing skill!
Watching on YT where my ears are regularly assaulted by screeching salespeople begging me not to skip and I can't skip the ad' fast enough!! Fascinating conversation. I remember studying psychology GCSE where I first heard that noise is/can be a stimulus to violence - something I was very aware of but not consciously. Thank crunchy for mute buttons! I really enjoyed listening to this, thank you both xxx
Love this ...I’m always for learning , born in a poor economic family reading was my toy and joy . I taught my children to read with expression, all three became great Orators Leaders, and Community Concerned . THE POWER OF WORDS.....can be a great deterrent to problems and save lives and the abuse of this power can be just the opposite, thanks Steven I keep coming back to your podcast soon I will be doing mine....
Brilliant episode, with both male voices sounding so beautiful!!!! Makes me wish I was there in a third chair, taking part in both the listening and communicating.
Captivating, simply captivating. At 65 I thought I was reasonably atuned to conversing and actively listening, but Julian`s contribution has given me much more to contemplate. Thanks Steven.
I was fortunate as a young territory sales representative to have a boss that arranged for speaking engagements at major utilities companies and would then nominate me as the one to deliver the talk. Looking back now over 40 yrs., those talks are among the most impactful skill development efforts I’ve ever gone through. Invaluable to me over the years.
I have found RU-vid talks such as Ted Talks, to Be immensely informative for personal development and growth to be a better human being. There was so much to unpack on todays discussion, I feel it has the possibility to be life changing. Coming from a mental health social worker, trained to listen, I took a lot from this. Can’t wait to watch again with notebook at hand.
Absolutely loved this interview! Julian is so inspiring! As a budding public speaker and a sound healer, his discussion on the importance of sound, listening, and how to be heard was fascinating and so helpful to me. Blessings. ❤
That " bless you" idea to people who annoy you when you are in a more unconscious state brings you back into awareness. I found it really helpful when people are cutting you off in traffic or being really aggressive etc. Brian Scott did an amazing video on this
Good morning to you both. My Dad has and still does encourages and pushes listening First. 'Two ears One mouth' he says. This wee saying I now encourage and action, so to speak.😀 Thankyou again for sharing. 💜
Crying every day and not knowing why is the nervous breakdown we all deny we have had or will have if we’ve tried to stay in the fray without Gods help!!❤
I am so grateful to hear someone on your show or anyone’s show for that matter, talking about something so integral to being connected with one another. Listening as well as speaking. I have contemplated for some time presenting myself to women in power or rather women who have much to give but the sound of their voice is an obstacle. I hear a high pitched, nasality coupled with vocal fry and I have to unplug because it simply hurts my ears and my own vocal instrument. Thank you so much for creating space for this.
Yes, vocal fry is a contagious disease that's blighting ther voices of millions, especially women for some reason. A tragedy when there's all thaewonder of a magnificent voice to explore.
This is one of these conversations that isn't as important because it has new information, but rather explaining really important points that we tend to forget. And is super well spoken.
This was a brilliant interview. I can't believe I just watched this whole interview from start to finish. This gentleman really knows how to Capture an audience
There is a quote I’ve come across recently that resonates “Seek first to understand then to be understood.” Stephen covey 5th habit in the book “7 habits of highly effective people”. You guys named Stephen seem to be very intuitive and most of all, motivated to give your best without expectation. I thank you for that my friend.
Attending one of the top schools in the UK, followed by Cambridge (as Julian Treasure did) - bound to speak well. I went to similar schools/college and I can tell you, everyone around me whether they were introverted or not spoke 'well'. Yes, you can practice and develop confidence. But absolutely, I think we should be honest and acknowledge that you have a massive head start with that kind of education and upbringing. To add, for me, it's not about how confident someone sounds or how great their voice is (both of which unfortunately do get you far - look at our last ex PM who got away with a lot because of 'the way he speaks') or even how authentic. (You can be really authentic about having an intention that isn't great... power, greed, attention, etc). So ultimately, I think it's content and intention. What is this person saying and why?
I used to listen to Tim Ferris all the time but then he started talking about chaga mushrooms too much 😅. Steve’s podcast just gets better and better. I feel like he’s filled the gap that Tim Ferris left for me! Great work Steve! Looking forward to seeing more 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
What a great episode, Mr. Treasure is delightful and charming. I'm an avid watcher here and took to pen and paper rather quickly jotting down notes - as of late, I have been very conscious of my speaking, not just with my voice, but also how I communicate and come across, especially in my work place. Thank you so much!.
In my journey it's been helpful for me to look at gratitude in a different way than the usual "what I am thankful for" Instead: What am I doing that makes OTHERS grateful FOR ME So it turns out that when being of service, that generates a stronger attraction to the Universe, which operates within cosmic law
I ended up hear as someone who doesn't feel heard (and works extraordinarily hard to listen). At times I've felt selfish wanting to be heard, but when says that it's actually a need to be heard, that really struck home.
Perfect timing I am In the process of improving this skill to become a public speaker and to help get my message to millions with impact leading to lifelong transformation 👏👏👏, great interview Steven , listening and learning you bring on valuable speakers thank you so much for delivering consistently never bored here ,so refreshing to hear the depth of the speakers journey through your intelligent questions👍
Julian explaining how he uses 'bless you' for when he's out and about to practice love and well wishing for strangers/whoever we bump into is something I've taken up the practice of doing too, so it was really nice and reassuring hearing that from someone else who sees it as effective. It really does lighten the load. In my case I don't usually think negatively of people, but there are plenty of times where I have done without even realising, esp judging without meaning to. The more we practice kindness and love (esp to those we don't particularly get on with), the easier it becomes and more at ease we eventually feel. So, thank you Julian for sharing this! ^_^ *goes back to watching* Also absolutely gobsmacked hearing Julian is 64 years old! Holy moly...he really doesn't look it at all! Looks like he's still in his is 40S!
The best thing is he asks questions like he is in the audience. He is interested to know things and never hesitates to ask the hard questions. Amazing! ♥️
I LOVE Julian Treasure! When I taught Oral Communications at the college level, his videos were required listening. I also played How to Speak so that others Will Want to Listen", and then we practiced the exercises in class.
Well this was a terrible choice to start listening to at 4am! It's now nearly 0530 and it's brilliant. What a fantastic conversation on a really interesting topic. Yep, subscribed.
The moment I pressed that play button, something very powerful shifted inside of my emotional body. Right there I knew this was going to be an incredible episole. Thank you!
I have started watching and listening to your podcasts and I absolutely like the content. You are doing a great job of inviting experts in the fields with priceless suggestions and help for us to improve and flourish🙏 The only thing is they are long episodes and one feels demotivated moving towards the last quarter of videos. Maybe keeping episodes shorter works better. Great job.
I listen to you almost daily. I greatly enjoy your guests. Today's speaker/guest has pointed out sounds generated with businesses. This, has inspired me to articulate something I feel that I normally would not have pointed out. The music you play the beginning of your podcast is very difficult for me to listen to. It feels very dark to me and does not feel insightful and uplifting as your guests. I am probably the only one that feels, but like I said your guest inspired me to communicate it. Thank you for bringing forth valuable guests on topics that provide knowledge and enlightenment. Keep up the great work you do. ❤
Stephen, you are doing such an incredible service for mankind!! Just love the talks I listen to! When I first starting listening to you talks a couple of months ago, I wasn’t sure how I would be able to choose from your long list of excellent guests!!! And of course, there no need to choose, since the youtube algorithms are able to choose what I might like, much better than I can!! Thank you so much again!!!
Thank you Julian . I learnt a lot from you today . I appreciate the way you deliver your words / I noticed you brought out the authentic part of the precentor he was more childlike at one point which I thing was him showing his natural . 😃💫💫💫⭐️
Would love to see time stamps on your videos so we can jump around and target specific portions/topics of the conversation. Thanks for sharing. Great content!
I try to be intentional about listening, especially because I know all too well what it feels like not to be truly heard. I am usually intentional about being present, putting away distractions, summarizing or asking clarifying questions. But I can certainly improve my listening by not trying to formulate responses while someone else is talking.
Steven, I am a new listener of your podcast and love them, this one in particular! I could listen to the two of you talk all day. Seriously, keep up the amazing work, its so valuable and appreciated.
1.18- ABSOLUTELY!!! Food is highly emotional. I am a functional nutritionist and have a deep understanding of how powerful the right foods are for our health. Yet my Italian heritage _ where food is almost a religion- means that there are certain meals that will never be reduced down to just nutrition.❤
What a episode🤩! Just saw this episode and have to say it was one of the most educating episodes on the channel in my humble opinion. Could take a lot away, although I already went quite deep into the topic of communication. Thanks for this 🙏
Brilliant talk, very grateful to have just come across this channel, so much genuine valuable information from these conversations to apply to life and improving oneself which is rare in this era of infinite meaningless distractions online. Thank you and bless you.
I have been resisting subscribing to this podcast because i am not subscribed to any youtube channels and i resist all commitment ! But today i subscribed. The content is so so good. One of the best podcasts out there and i listen to a lot. Good luck.
Thank you for so many amazing podcasts Steven. You truly have a gift for creating deep and profound conversations with all of your guests. It would definitely be a great idea to change your opening and closing music. Find a piece of music that complements the level of work and commitment that is taken to create such fantastic content so that it is on a par with the quality of your channel. It is your musical signature. The wisdom Julian shared with you about how important music is in relation to how we experience something is so true.
Brilliant conversation! So much learnt in under 2hrs. Communication is the foundation of everything. This interaction is the reason I subscribed to this channel. Way to go! The only bad thing about this interaction is that it ends.
Absorbing episode! Thank you for sharing. An aside... Simon and Julian would be a fantastic connect given their mutual fascination with listening and human connection :)
I bought Julian's book on Audible a month ago and watched this episode today, I'm really thankful he came on your show. Can't wait for the movie of this episode to come out starring Will Smith and Tom Hanks :)
I'm enjoying this , I am actually writing my "life Map" I have broken it into 5 quarters...I am in the bottom of the fourth quarter and in this I found out why I had not meet my life goal ,but very close.. I use to call in to radio talk shows and then listen to myself as if I was detached and critiqued my voice, my tone, and my timing was I overbearing or seem snooty, totally not my intention or my personality but sound and tones makes the difference...One day I walked into public community radio station on my own and asked to join, I was given a script for a news report ...I did and with only one reading I got the spot to do.. .I am now on public radio and before I get home I am listening and myself to improve. This was great advice and yes you should know who you are ,I have values ,which I believe , I like acronyms, great show. YES, GRATITUDE is a Must...to grow and find peace. I SUBSCRIBED WHAT A SMALL "PRICE" TO PAY for great gifts of wisdom.
Steven and Julian, I have found this podcast very helpful and eye-opening. Thank you very much☺ I love watching the podcasts and never fail to learn something new
I remember when I started my show/podcast, I was so scared I was not good enough, the more I did it, took time to reframe my questions and interviews questions, this has been my transformation. I still am learning.
Steven, I understood the value of your guest up to 1:33:08 when he began to speak “as a minority”. At which point I thought, “Tough shit” Mr male/caucasian/Scot. Sometimes it is important to”fight” even if it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable for the majority. I perceived him to be dismissive? arrogant? And possibly needing a therapist himself. At this point I wondered whether looking up his other Ted talks was something I wanted to subject myself to. Thx for all you do Steven!
I’m fairly new to your channel and have only watched a few so far, The way you both bounced off each other and drew out various topics was a joy to watch, for me, as someone who is at a cross roads in their life and battling through the interview process to try and move up the corporate ladder, some of the areas covered in this have meant so much to me on a personal level and have given me some points to improve on that I’m sure will help, thank you both.
I was a bit disappointed it ended where it ended. The speaker said it was something you sacrifice for. I would have gotten more value out of him going on explaining with examples how this works out in daily life. (I can imagine people as layered and complex as they are, are having several contradictory values, and the dealing with the psychological stress that might give, then what?)
1:30:33 I've just stumbled over this fantastic podcast about the power of active listening in promoting mutal understanding and thus avoiding conflict . The horrible violent events happenning and worsening since October 7th in lsrael and PaIestine and the endorsing of the most powerful side by other powerful parties are a fitting example of the silo mentality and the dehumanisation that occur when we don't listen actively to others.
Fun fact... RASA also means "to feel" in Sanskrit and in Singapore all homecooks will emphasize how important it is to cook with "rasa", it basically means the love has to be tasted in the food... it's also used to describe passion in a performance or a display.. essentially it's about making a connection between the effort and the result whether cooking or creating something, so that's a great acronym! Receive, Appreciate, Summarize and Ask.. Now to share this with my husband, if he'll listen hahah! Let's start validating people with RASA!
