Session Leader: Annabel Palmer

Session Theme Title: The Art of Conversation & Active Listening

Session Overview and Synopsis:

The art of conversation is the skill of engaging in meaningful and enjoyable communication with others. It involves the ability to listen actively, express oneself clearly, and maintain a balanced and interesting exchange of ideas. A good conversation is a two-way interaction where both participants contribute and feel heard.

Throughout this digital chapter we will look at principles and techniques that can aid your conversations as well as learn how to apply active listening to conversations.

Whilst the intention of these webinars is to educate, many of the narratives covered allow for free flowing discussions and particularly with our focus on ‘art of conversation’, we will keep an informal and relaxed feel to the chapter in order to get the most out of it.

Session Outcomes and Takeaways:

1. Active Listening.

2. Empathy and Understanding.

3. Asking Open-Ended Questions.

4. Avoiding Dominating the Conversation.

5.Using Non-Verbal Communication:

Remember that the art of conversation is a skill that can be developed with practice and patience. By actively listening, expressing yourself clearly, and respecting others, you can create meaningful and enjoyable conversations that foster connection and understanding.

6. Giving  your full attention.

7. Using verbal and non-verbal cues.

8. Avoiding judgement and assumptions.
