For men in particular, it can be an awkward subject to talk about, for many people, man or women it can be heard, because of the stigma, but you don\u2019t have to be an expert. Listen for the different ways we can encourage conversations and get people to talk   Notice - it's about noticing the little clues, not necessarily the big ones.  Hear more about this.   Ask Twice - Asking twice gives someone the opportunity to get past the initial I'm Fine response.   Listen Carefully - this is listening to hear, rather than listening to fix things or provide solutions.   Question Gently - There are 3 key phrases that I use frequently in workshops and with clients every week.   I hope this is helpful.  Let me know if you use any of these tips and how you get on with them.   Please do make sure you hit \u2018subscribe\u2019 so that don\u2019t miss an episode.     If you haven\u2019t yet  left a review, please do go and find the little button to leave a review and let me know your thoughts, key take-aways and what you value from the podcast.   Join my corporate leadership and wellbeing newsletter HERE    If you want to be increasing your performance so that you\u2019re more resilient in these current times, so that you can focus easily, use tools and techniques to deal with all the current and unknown challenges then make sure that you either drop me an email to emma@emmalangton.com .   Or head over to my website www.emmalangton.com ","author_name":"Lessons for Leaders","author_url":"http:\/\/www.emmalangton.com\/","html":"
