About this audiobook
In our increasingly connected world, communication is happening more than ever — you’re probably in about a dozen conversations at any given time, even if you’re not consciously aware of it. With our home lives, work conversations, and social engagements piled on top of that, we often have a sense that we’re always in touch with others. But how can we ensure the conversations we have are genuine and contribute to establishing deep, meaningful connections?
In Conversations That Count, an audio course from Scribd Coach, leadership coach Joseph Tan explains how to do precisely that. Using the idea that conversations are essentially the building blocks of all human communication as a starting point, Tan explains how you can use conversations to build out relationships. In the course, Tan explains his three-part framework for establishing and interpreting the goals of all conversations; how you can cultivate the two qualities of connective conversation, respect and sincerity; useful tips on planning conversations; and more. He also shares exercises so you can start putting your new knowledge into practice.
We all want more out of our conversations. Joseph Tan’s method will help you maximize the value of all your interactions.
