Overview:
To finish off this pathway, I’d like to share some final tips to help you have better, more meaningful conversations.
Summary
Follow these top tips for meaningful conversations.
1. Take regular breaks throughout the day
The more calm and centred you are, the better you are at handling tough conversations when they arise.
2. Slow down the pace of the conversation
Ask for a pause if you feel that you might benefit from one. These pauses can help you find the right words and it signals to your counterpart that you care.
3. Don't describe conversations as 'difficult'
It can automatically put you in a frame of mind that anticipates challenge, tense up and make things harder. Make sure you understand the context of the conversation and try to frame the discussion in a positive or neutral light.
4. Don't write a script for important conversations.
Be sure to stay open and present to what is happening in the conversation. Most of the time, all we need to do is listen a little harder.
