What is the big deal about having better conversations, connections, and relationships? Pretty much everything! Last episode’s conversation with networking and communications expert, Patti DeNucci, author of More Than Just Talk: The Essential Guide for Anyone Who Wants to Enjoy Better Conversations, was so good that I decided to split it into two parts so we could really take it in and benefit from Patti’s insights and inspiration.
If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, I encourage you to do so. In Part 2 of our conversation, we dive deeper into the most common conversation skill and how to get better at it. If you’re an introvert or in any way not comfortable having conversations, you are gonna LOVE this!
In this episode we talk about:
The health benefits of social interactions
A great conversation is a two-way street
Conversational skills are powerful tools to get what you want
The choice to strengthen our conversational skills
