Description
Good conversation is at the heart of networking, meetings, interviews, negotiations, and raising your profile. It can ease your way in work, enabling you to build alliances, create strong relationships with staff, bosses, and clients, succeed at interviews, motivate, and inspire.
But conversation is something most of us were never taught! We learn to speak as babies, but how conversation actually works is something most of us pick up only haphazardly, and many have yet to learn. Why is it some of us are stuck for words, but others blabber or canβt stop? What is it that some people have naturally which enables them to converse comfortably and easily, to engage people and build better relationships?
The Art of Conversation will show you step by step how to converse skillfully and enjoyably with other people, at home, at work, on the phone, and in the street. Even if youβre daunted now, discover the difference good conversation can make in every aspect of your life. Learn to:
- Overcome the most common block to good conversationβfear; find out how to break the silence and keep the conversation going.
- Understand the different types of conversation and how they workβdiscover which topics and language are suitable for the occasion.
- Learn simple methods for being heard and understood, including speaking clearly and audibly, listening well, and using non-verbal communication.
- Find out how to hold a conversation in tricky situations, including how to disagree, how to speak to those in authority, and people you find difficult.
- Use conversation to form relationships, improve friendships, make the sale, chat people up, to learn, influence, and persuade.
