The power of a good conversation

The power of a good conversation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO36K8SoC8UFor years, every morning I´d say hi to my neighbor ¨Guten Morgen, Frau Ruoss¨, ¨Guten Morgen¨. Es ist ein schöner Tag.¨ ¨Ja, es ist schön¨. ✨One day during the lockdown, when we couldn't go too far, we stopped, and with our language limitations, talked longer. We shared our situation, hopes and fears . . . And something changed.Small talk is useful. It creates a comfort zone and brings people closer.When we pass the small talk surface, we connect with people at a higher level. 👊To make sure that our conversations have the best quality possible, we need to master three skills: listening, questioning and curiosity.✔ Listening:Listen to what's not being said, listen for emotions... And when you find them, stop, and listen more.✔ Questioning:Simple and open questions, one at a time, never ever ask why, and the fewer the better.✔ Curiosity:Is the desire to know more. Don’t try to give a solution, try to put yourself in the other person’s shoes.Only when my neighbor and I applied this, did we discover that in the end we are not so different.And we changed our morning routine; sometimes we don´t say anything, but we smile at each other and say it all. 😍
