Have Curious Conversations

Here’s what will happen after ...

• More RealTalk ... less pretend scripted and transactional conversations

• More Involvement ... less silence, fear and apprehension to speak up

• More Serious Connections ... people are inspired to take time to talk about what matters and be more present and more focused when talking to one another

• More Listening that demonstrates respect and builds trust

• More Curious Questions that deepen creative problem solving, ownership and capacity

• More People Thinking Better ... more clarity, confidence and less advice, directing, over-selling and "motivating"

• More Energy and Engagement and people who are excited about what is still possible

To teach, model and give people tools to improve conversation, connection and influence requires more than a mechanical unemotional interchange. Engagement is all about connection … WHO are you connected to in a real way? Through an exploration of the three keys to RealTalk, (authentic presence, self-direction and emotional engagement) teams and leaders will know how to prepare for a meaningful conversation, manage emotions without burying them, and most of all to ask questions and be able to ignite, uncover and spark internal energy.

Conversations can dissolve apprehension, build trust, respect and understanding and bolster confidence, optimism and action. And they don’t need to be longer than ten minutes. With the Great 8 Questions and three principles for engagement, leaders can help people truly get their Hearts in the Game even when the future is uncertain and unclear.
