Whether it be in our personal lives or at work, how we communicate and how we listen is at the core of everything we do. Our ability to communicate effectively helps us build rapport which contributes to the relationships we build which ultimately lead to more productive and successful outcomes.
Having led large scale transformations and teams in environments where there are steep demands on my time, decisions needing to be made quickly and with strict deadlines, the conversations I needed to have were critical to the success of the initiatives.
And there were times when those conversations could have gone better! The attention I put into listening and the thought I put into the conversations is something I continuously work on.
The Better Conversations course provides a series of techniques that you can apply to everyday conversations you have at work and in your personal life too.
