– What a shift response is, why we all do it, and why it matters more than you might think
– What a support response sounds like in practice, and how it changes the dynamic of a conversation
– Why assuming your experience is the same as someone else's can get in the way of really listening
– How to notice your own patterns over the next week, and what to do with that awareness
