Ep 4. When Your Helper Does Not Listen

She nods, says yes, and then does the exact thing you asked her not to do. She is not being difficult. This episode reframes not listening as what it almost always is, which is a miscommunication about what was actually being asked. By the end, you will have a fifteen-minute reset conversation you can run this week and one question that ends the nodding. In this episode The three reasons a helper appears not to listen. The reset conversation, word for word. Why "do you understand" gets you a nod, and what to ask instead. Free.
