In this first episode in our conversation series, we talk about how we create more fulfilling and connected relationships by having better conversations. We give guidance on the attributes of a good conversation, how to prepare, how to be present throughout and make space for everyone involved to have their say and feel satisfied that an understanding has been reached. Amongst other things, we discuss how to listen properly, how to deal with interruptions, how to make sure the more quiet amongst us get to participate and how to disagree compassionately. We all benefit from good conversations and this is how to have them.
"If we have taken the time to prepare and ground ourselves before the conversation ,we are able to be truly present and our mind isn't going to wander off and make up stories that are clouded with our own perception or fears". Kezra
"You need to recognise the courage it took for the other person to bring this to the conversation and honour that with your presence and engagement". Ian
