5 Conversations That Will Change You

We all say, "communication is important." The problem is, we still do not communicate all that effectively.



If we did, our personal and professional relationships would be so much more effective and efficient.



What is the biggest problem with our communication?  It is ourselves.



We either do not have the right conversations, do not focus on the right part of the conversations, or we will not have the hard or difficult conversations.



What is more we are often times hypocritical.  We think one thing and say another.  We make judgements without full knowledge.  We make assumptions about the other person.



When you think about the conversations you have at home or at work, your thoughts are often not matching your words. You are not saying what you really mean...



And hence a conversation was had, but there are no results. And our conversations should bring both alignment and change. How do we change that?



Fortunately for all of us, Best Selling Author Douglas Squirrel joins us on A New Direction to talk help us with the 5 Conversations we need to have for real change. From his book "Agile Conversations".
