Move from what was heard to confirmed shared meaning

  1. HearFacts before inferenceNotice words, observations, and gaps
  2. QuestionAsk one useful thingExplore or confirm the missing fact
  3. ParaphraseMy understanding is…Restate briefly and invite correction
  4. ConfirmOwner + next stepRecord the agreed action and follow-up
Listening boundaryA pause or tone does not prove intent or ability
