10 Simple Rules for Better Dialogue
With the right approach, anyone can turn small talk into engaging conversation. These 10 basic rules will help.
In her TED talk on YouTube, radio host Celeste Headley shares key points for becoming a good conversationalist. Headley explains, for example, that you don’t need to show that you are paying attention (nodding your head and smiling) if you are truly focusing on attention. You will also learn that you should never preach and always assume that you have a lot to learn from everyone. Here are some more important takeaways:
- Ask the best questions while acting like a journalist. What do they think? What do they think about this? What else can you tell me about this?
- If you don’t know something, say you don’t know. You won’t look like a fool and you will have something to talk about.
- Never compare your experience with theirs. You may have gone through similar experiences, but none of them are ever the same.
