E92: Up Your Listening Game: Reflections on Oscar Trimboli
Deep listening takes work. It takes focused energy. It can be exhausting. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable. And the benefits are worth the effort. In this episode, Amy and Mark share their thoughts on our conversation in the last episode with Oscar Trimboli, author of “How to Listen: Discover the Hidden Key to Better Communication” and host of the Deep Listening podcast. We explore the philosophical nature of deep listening and the connection to compassion, particularly in business. Even good listeners can improve listening skills by focusing on deep listening and the connections it creates. Listen in as we discuss: • Tips we learned from Oscar that we plan to apply immediately. • How you can find out where your gaps are in listening, which allows you to deepen your listening. • The power that comes from listening to yourself. Deep listening can have deep impact. We’d love your thoughts on these concepts too. Share in the comments or send us an email at infusecompassionpodcast@gmail.com. Oscar Trimboli is an award-winning author, host of the Apple award-winning podcast Deep Listening and a sought-after keynote speaker. His third book is “how to listen – discover the hidden key to better communication” – the most comprehensive book about listening in the workplace. Along with the Deep Listening Ambassador Community, he is on a quest to create 100 million deep listeners in the workplace.

E91: Deep Listening With Oscar Trimboli
Deep listening changes not just how we hear others, but how we relate to ourselves. In this episode of the Infuse Compassion podcast, Amy and Mark talk with Oscar Trimboli, host of the “Deep Listening” podcast and author of “How to Listen,” about what it means to listen beyond the words. Oscar defines deep listening as hearing what isn’t being said as much as what is—and explains why it starts with listening to yourself, just as compassion starts with self-compassion. He shares how our brains think at 900 words per minute while people speak at about 125 wpm, and how that gap leads us to jump ahead in conversations. In this conversation, you’ll learn: - Why the goal of listening is not to understand others, but to help them understand themselves - A simple question to ask yourself before and during conversations: “What would make this a productive conversation?” - Why great listening happens in the space between speaker and listener Oscar’s insights offer practical ways to slow down, stay present, and create more meaningful, compassionate connections.
