Tips for better conversations

Tips for better conversations

  • Do more listening than talking. People love a great listener. It gives a sense of validation when someone listens closely to you.
  • Stop trying to be right.
  • Stop hogging the conversation. Our personal stories are not always fascinating to others. That is okay.
  • Stop the one-upmanship. It is often seen as intellectual snobbery or as being insecure.
  • Ask questions. If we want to learn more about people and life, we should see each person as a remarkable interview opportunity.
  • Give reciprocity. Talk about yourself but also ask about the other person.

Ask better questions

We like to talk about topics that interest us. But to have better conversations, step out of yourself for a moment and think more about the other person.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
