The Art of Conversation - virtual!
Laura DeMaria
Folks, we are going live and virtual next Tuesday, April 21 with a conversation on - the Art of Conversation.
My friend Julie Larkin, founder of Girl Talk, invited me to speak as part of their Coffeehouse Community series. You can definitely bring coffee with you, though this will be at night (I am very sensitive to caffeine and don’t drink coffee, anyway. I know, calm down).
This is the virtual version of a talk I have given before, which essentially boils down to: why is conversation important (because it is a sign of respect for the other person); what skills do I need (be interested and also be interesting); what can I do to get someone else to talk (nothing)?
A description:
Great conversation never goes out of style. As our world becomes increasingly digital (and we face the COVID-19 epidemic), the critical skill of holding a good conversation — speaking with interest, charm and clarity — becomes even more desirable. Whether in a job interview, on the train, at a party, or on a date, the ability to confidently converse face-to-face (or through the screen) is a true advantage.
This Zoom workshop will present the benefits of strong conversational skills, the basics of being present for the conversation at hand - both as the speaker and the listener and most importantly, how to genuinely enjoy life’s daily dialogues.
When: Tuesday, April 21, 7:30 pm eastern. Register here.
