How To Have Better Conversations?

Workplace Leadership

Discussing, networking, and building rapport at the workplace and outside are critical to your business and life’s success. The ability to converse freely, confidently and, briefly will demonstrate that you are knowledgeable, in control, and that you care about other people. Everyone can talk, but not everyone can communicate. This article will show you how to converse better and get ahead in your career and life.

Listen – This is the most fundamental concept of all good conversations in the workplace and life in general. Keeping your mouth closed, not interrupting, and rebutting others before they have finished is also the hardest thing to do but it must be learned to achieve greatness. As the Buddha said - ‘If your mouth is open, you are not learning.’

Don’t Multitask – In today’s world, this usually means switch off or mute your smartphones and tablets when you are having a conversation with someone. It is infuriating to watch someone frequently peep into their phones and type something when you are having an important conversation with them. And the same rules apply to you also. When you are having a conversation give it your 100%. This will prevent repeating and getting half information when the meeting is about something important.
