Will Your 2010 Conversations Be Different?

As you look forward to a new year (in fact, a new decade!), how could you change your conversations?

How can you create the kind of scintillating, memorable, Wow! exchanges that leave participants transformed?  We're surrounded by chatter, so how can you engage others in meaningful conversations for which they'll thank you?

Make a list of the people with whom you would like to have more compelling, more rewarding conversations.  Include not only the people you find frustrating to engage in conversations, but also those with whom you like to talk but wish your exchanges were richer, more interesting.

I plan to spend some time in 2010 sharing conversational tips that I hope will be helpful to you as you navigate the path that leads to provocative, inviting discourse.

Let me know specific areas in which you have questions or challenges, and tell me what kinds of people you find especially challenging.  Your boss?  colleagues at work?  Girlfriend?  Dad?

 

I'm happy to work with examples, so send me questions and we'll go to work.
