How to Have a Good Conversation

Engaging in meaningful conversations requires several key techniques. First, avoid multitasking and commit to being fully present. This means not just physically being there but also mentally focusing on the discussion.

How to Have a Good Conversation

Try not to repeat yourself

When put into practice, you should feel that the conversation becomes more even and you are dominating it less.
Open the door for them to speak about their experiences in more detail.
Rephrasing it over and over.
If you do feel like you have a tendency to ramble, try to turn the conversation back to the other person.

Go with the flow

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!
You need to let them come and let them go.
Stories and ideas are going to come to you.
That means throughs will come into your mind and you need to let them go out of your mind.

Don’t multitask

Don’t be half in it, and half out of it.
In the conversation don’t think about other things, pay attention, listen and focus in the conversation.
Be in that moment.
Be present.
