Best Tips to Improve Conversation Skills

Listen for Understanding

When you are listening to another team member speak, you are really just waiting for them to stop speaking so that you can speak.

Ask, Genuine High Quality Questions

A genuine question is one for which you are open to whatever answer is provided after you ask your question. High quality questions allow the respondent to provide a genuine, open response.

Let People Finish

There are two sides to this characteristic as well. When people are speaking, let them finish saying what they are saying before you speak.

Share the Floor

Genuine opportunity for everyone to speak exists, and everyone uses that opportunity if they have something to say.

New Possibilities are Possible

High quality conversations allow new possibilities to emerge and to be genuinely explored, because without them real learning can’t occur.
