I believe there is an art to conversation and that you can get better at it. I want to explore this more.
Most of it seems to be about being a good listener and asking good questions.
But subtler aspects of it also include:
- the way you hold space and make people feel at ease,
- the way you maintain conversational flow,
- being genuinely interested in people,
I think it’s possible to have great conversations with just about anyone who is receptive to it.
