Episode 54 | Interviewology | How To Hold The Space for Absolutely Anything

This episode explores one of the central interviewing techniques I talk about on this podcast: "holding the space." It answers the questions of:

• What is "holding space" during an interview?


• What does it mean?


• What does it not mean?


• Why is it important?


• How does it fit in with your overall purpose as an interviewer?

This episode will unpack this somewhat abstract topic of holding the space. By the end of the episode, you'll also be better able to identify your own prejudices and preferences. You'll have some different techniques for not letting them get in the way of being totally present and safe for your interviewee. You'll also understand how to create safety and comfort and make room for anything that comes during the interview, no matter how difficult or how much you disagree with it!
