A lot can happen in a conversation

Listentalk Chapter 6 Synopsis: How to Talk

Given that conversation is a primary tool for developing relationship, why do so many of us insist on using conversation only to persuade, protect and inform? Maybe talking can have a much bigger role in how we learn. And maybe our talk can be impetus for community formation—but how to begin?

This chapter shows how to feed individuals and groups with words that make sense and move others forward. The chapter shows how creativity is a welcome element to conversation and how it also helps people progress. And the chapter also shows how being fully present with each other helps us make mad chatter with the most delightful effect. Plus—we pull from the attitudes and practices of prayer as a model for free, unencumbered talk that will be effective with each other.
