Conversation Skills

Knowing what to say is important, almost as important as knowing what not to say. It is the first and most essential communication skill. The ability to carry on a conversation is not just one of the great joys in life, it is a critically important social skill in all areas of life. We cover topics like; your share of the 'conversation pie', active listening, three tiers for conversation topics, being interesting by being interested, interrupting, what not to ask, and even magic words. This is more than just sample scripts and name games, it is a fun and adult approach to the topic of good conversation.
