How to Become a Better Chat Room With NPR Host Celeste Headley
We could all learn to speak better with other people. It’s so easy to hide behind our screens these days, and when we’re finally face to face with real people, we often talk too much and don’t listen enough. How can we make the most of these moments one-on-one, face to face, in real life? We will hear from journalist Celeste Headley , author of We Need to Talk: How to Have Important Conversations . And Michelle Wu from Lifehacker tells us how to talk to kids, because do any of us really know how to do it? And our producer Casey Georgie talks to people on the streets of New York to find out what annoys people the most when it comes to bad conversations.
Watch Celeste’s TEDx talk 10 Ways to Improve Conversation.
