Become a Better Conversationalist by Giving up Details
Good conversation has a natural back and forth movement, like playing tennis. However, this pleasant flow stops when you stop to try and clarify any unnecessary details.
If you’re looking for an easy way to improve your loquaciousness, Celeste Headley, host of Georgia Public Broadcasting Sideways, invites you to always ditch the details and keep going. The last thing you want to derail the conversation is by trying to highlight small pieces of information like names, dates, and other small details that don’t play an important role in your story or discussion. Headley explains that the listener cares more about you and who you are, rather than the actual events or things you describe. They are looking for what they have in common with you in order to communicate. If you forget the details, leave them and keep talking.
