Most of us spend a good part of the day talking – but are we really holding meaningful conversations that yield the results we want? Probably not. Why no? In part, everyone has a variable level of skill in communicating. Also, consider the myriad of dynamics that influence conversational effectiveness such as conversation styles, emotion, assumptions, intent, context, tone, tempo and reactive brain functions. In this episode, we talk with a communication expert about eight principles that influence every conversation we have, and how having real conversations build relationships, create a platform of mutual respect, and get us the results we want – at work and at home.
