Conversation is Key - The Forgotten Skill

Our generations are the worst conversationalists in centuries, if not longer. But why? And how can we change?

As a human, you are a social animal. It doesn’t matter whether you’re an extrovert, introvert, INFJ, Red personality type, you talk to hundreds of people a week even if you don’t realise it. Conversation is an instinctive part of being part of a society. Or is it really that instinctive?

What is there to learn, you’ve nailed it already. And you may have heard or said something along the lines of “I’m not a talker, I’m a doer.” Hats off to you.

But you know what’s not good?…..Not talking.

Conversation is a skill, and effective connection building communication is not something that is taught to all of us. Therefore it is so important that we all work on 5 things:

  1. Talk to everyone about anything.
  2. Assign language you understand to your emotions.
  3. Building the courage to ask for help/support.
  4. Learn and Practice active listening.
  5. Check up on others, start those conversations.
