How to Have a Good Conversation

Be present.

Be in that moment.

In the conversation don’t think about other things, pay attention, listen and focus in the conversation.

Don’t be half in it, and half out of it.

That means throughs will come into your mind and you need to let them go out of your mind.

Stories and ideas are going to come to you.

You need to let them come and let them go.

Almost everyone is guilty of thinking of a really interesting point whilst someone is speaking, and then waiting impatiently for the person to finish to jump in!

If you do feel like you have a tendency to ramble, try to turn the conversation back to the other person.

Rephrasing it over and over.

Open the door for them to speak about their experiences in more detail.

When put into practice, you should feel that the conversation becomes more even and you are dominating it less.
