Conversation is about more than communication. It's how we connect with each other and make sense of the world - it's an essential part of being human. So why do some conversations flow, while others are stilted and awkward? Can we make difficult conversations easier? Robert Poynton explores and celebrates the 'everyday miracle' that meets one of our deepest needs: to connect with other people. He offers simple ways to hone our natural skills so that we overcome any anxiety and converse more skilfully and consciously. In Do Conversation, you will: - Discover that good conversation isn't about being clever, witty or winning arguments - Learn to listen and hold space - Create the conditions for more fruitful conversations - Understand how a bit of simple structure can create new and different kinds of conversations The best conversations aren't artificially controlled or planned, they are highly responsive and lead to new ideas, connections and meaning between those participating. A generative force that creates meaning and belonging. Let's talk.
