If you want to really learn something, go beyond just listening to it or just thinking about it...have a conversation!
Talking Points:
- Conversation is a key tool for helping bring clarity to the people in your world, whether at home, work, or elsewhere.
- Conversation helps you articulate and defend your own ideas. If you’re listening actively to the other person in the conversation, it’ll also help you articulate their perspective.
- Good conversations encourage an exchange of perspective, bringing potential benefit to everyone in the conversation.
Discussion:
- Initial reactions to this topic? What jumped out at you?
- What are some topics you have clarity on? Where do you lack clarity? Explain why you have or lack clarity in these areas.
- “Listen before you talk.” How well do you do this at work? At home? Explain.
- Share a time when a conversation helped you to gain clarity about something.
- Make a list of the some of the conversations you’d like to have at work or at home. What is keeping you from having these conversations?
- Is there a step you need to take based on today’s topic?
