I. What is a conversation

Conversation is the act and effect of speaking one or more people to


another person or to another personConversation involves

Communication through some kind of language (oral, gestural, written,


etc.). It involves an interaction in which two or more people jointly
construct a text (unlike a monologue).

Specifically, for a conversation to survive, a series of basic elements


must be employed. Specifically, among them are:

• The issuer, who transmits the information.

• The recipient, the person who received the above information.

• Message, that is what is transmitted, that is, the information


mentioned above.

• Code, which is the language in which the conversation takes place.

• Channel, which will be where the information goes.

• Context, where the message itself is delivered.

There are 2 main point of a conversation :

Greeting is often the starting point of a conversation. Then come the


questions (interrogation statements), since the conversation is usually
done with the goal of asking for some kind of information. In any case,
there are also conversations where the main reason is to pass some
data without any questions in between.

Conversational tone is called the intensity or emphasis of the dialogue.


A high-pitched conversation is one in which the participants argue or
shout to defend their position. Remember that a conversation can go
through different tones before ending.
1. GET OUT OF YOURSELF AND MAKE IT ABOUT THE OTHER
PERSON

2. PRACTICE ACTIVE LISTENING

Practice becoming an active listener. Being an active listener means


that you regularly respond to the person you're communicating with
to demonstrate that you're paying attention. You can let others know
that you are actively listening through both physical and verbal cues.
Good listeners make the other person feel valued and respected,
and these are very important factors when you want to develop an
effective conversation.

You can let others know you're listening by using positive body
language. Make sure you look the other person in the eye during the
conversation. Also, nod or shake your head at the appropriate times.

You can provide verbal cues to let others know that you're engaged
in the conversation. This signal can be as simple as saying "That's
interesting!" or bigger, like "I didn't know it would be. Can you tell me
more about how you feel about running a marathon?".

3. MOVE THE CONVERSATION TO A DEEPER LEVEL

Think of the people that you are willing to open up to and share
things with. What is it about them that makes you so comfortable
disclosing things that you wouldn’t normally with others?

Likely they are good at . Pay attention to their expressions. Notice


that they are with you not only in the tone of their words but in their
expressions. Their faces light up when you are sharing something
you are happy or excited about, and they take on a serious, sad look
when you are sharing bad news. You sense and feel that they are
totally “fall in” what you are telling them.
If emulating (copying) what they are doing seems unnatural to you,
practice and push yourself to do so. Notice that people will start to
react differently to you.

4. ASK GOOD QUESTIONS

It takes at least two people to form a great conversation. Make sure


you fulfill your obligations and actively participate in the discussion.
One of the best ways to do this is to ask questions (Space) that
allow the discussion to develop naturally.
Ask open-ended questions. Instead of asking, "Isn't the weather
beautiful today?". Ask, "What do you plan to do to enjoy a beautiful
day like this?". The first example sentence only asks for a yes or no
answer, and this can lead your conversation to a 'dead end'. Ask
questions that prompt the listener to answer more than one word.
Ask questions that clarify what the other person is saying. If you're
talking about rules with your teen, ask, "I've heard that you're
unhappy because you feel like you don't have enough freedom to do
what you want. What should we do to find a solution that works for
both?"
5.Smile when you're talking to someone
Around us there will always be unexpected conversations and it is the beginning of
a relationship and a certain interest in each person's work and private life.
Conversations often have different circumstances and reasons, conversations will
have different problems. Any conversation going well? Will there not be any
problems in the ongoing conversation? Here are some annoying things in a normal
communication in life.
- Always ask questions of others without saying anything about yourself
- Talking too much makes the other person can't absorb what you're saying
- Off topic, when the other person raises a question but you answer in a way
that is not related to the other person's question.
- Showing too much to the other side what you have, thinking that your things
are more valuable than the other's
- Show off : Shows discomfort when communicating with people
- Distract : Notice something else while talking to the other party
- You are conservative, do not respect the other's words
- You interrupt the other person while they are telling you a problem
- OVERREACTION : LETTING YOUR EMOTIONS DICTATE YOUR
RESPONSE

- Ways to handle uncomfortable conversations


- - As far as possible, keep eye level and try not to be "above" or "below"
others. Speak calmly and directly, making eye contact and making clear
gestures that you are listening and absorbing their point of view. By trying to
get the upper hand or trying to dominate the conversation from your point of
view, you will only alienate the other person and make them feel as if they
are not being heard. You don't have to be "right" or "better" - you need to
come to a mutual understanding and that requires equality and mutual
respect.
- Another part is maintaining respect for each other. Without mutual respect
and understanding, there is little hope of being able to find a suitable
solution together. Respect is an integral part of who we are and what we
want from life. You have to be respectful to get it, It also means avoiding
blame games, downplaying and nasty actions like name calling, shouting
and threats. Don't point fingers, and don't shift responsibility. Being
respectful also means carrying your own baggage and understanding that the
other person has every right to their point of view. .
- - The only way to overcome these misunderstandings is to learn to speak
clearly about what we want and what we need. To really get through a
difficult situation, we have to be honest, short, and clear
