Simon Sinek Gives a Method to Feel Seen

If somebody shows curiosity for the ideas of somebody else, then they open to your ideas.

Simon Sinek says in his Masterclass, The Key Steps To Finding Your Purpose, 9:34 

“If I talk about vision, and I talk about where I want to go, and I talk about what I want to imagine —and I think a lot of it is language —It has to start with Curiosity.
”Can I talk to you about some of the things you’re imagining for this company? What do you envision for this company?” If somebody shows curiosity for the ideas of somebody else, then, and only then, are they open to your ideas." - Sinek

If you make someone else feel seen and heard and understood, then they want to return the favor by making you feel seen and heard and understood.
