I watched the TEDx Talk by <\/span>Celeste Headlee<\/span><\/a> last week where she shares 10 rules for having good conversations. I truly learnt to find that healthy balance between talking and listening.<\/span><\/p>\n

If like me you hope to enjoy conversations and connect better this year, i encourage you to watch the entire video ( its about 12 minutes). Here are my top 6 rules from the video<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1) Don’t multitask ; when having conversations, be present in that moment, don’t be half in or half out.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Don’t pontificate ; enter every conversation assuming you have something to learn. Set aside your personal opinions so you can truly learn from others. <\/span><\/p>\n

3) If you don’t know, say you don’t know ,don’t talk carelessly . <\/span><\/p>\n

4) Don’t equate your experiences with that of others, all experiences are individual; stop making every conversation about you. <\/span><\/p>\n

5) Listen with intent to understand not intent to reply. If you are not listening, its not a conversation, you are simply talking over each other. <\/span><\/p>\n

6) Be interested in other people , prepare yourself to discover something interesting about people you are conversing with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cheers to a year of great conversations !!!<\/p>\n
