Description
According to John Green, author of The Fault in our Stars and Turtles All the Way down, "In the best conversations, you don't even remember what you talked about, only how it felt."I agree. When you're having a conversation at work (or even at home), you're less likely to remember the content than the impact, unless..Unless you hurt the other person's feelings, and you don't address itUnless you're seen as pushy.or a pushoverUnless you talk way more than you listenUnless you're unaware of your micro-aggressionsUnless you're inflexible in your adapting your styleIn other words, your conversations are more likely to be successful when you're mindful of your intentions, willing to flex your approach, and you're skillful in evaluating your impact.I can help you learn to do all of that -- and more!My name is Deborah Grayson Riegel, and I am a keynote speaker, executive coach, and consultant who has taught leadership communication for Wharton Business School, Duke Corporate Education, Columbia Business School's Women in Leadership Program, and the Beijing International MBA Program at Peking University.
