If so, start using the 12 Conversations and Say It Right When It Matters Most. Here are the 12 different conversations that you need to master:
1.
Conversation for Connection: This is the fundamental truth about connecting with others: it's easiest to build rapport and connection when you're employing your preferred style of communication, rather than having a mask on and attempting to adapt to what you think others expect from you.
2.
Conversation for Creating New Possibilities: Knowing what we want to create and letting ourselves dream are the first steps in conversations for creating. Conversations can be the triggers to professional development. Sometimes the questions a manager or colleague asks help us to understand a situation better. We begin to see what is possible.
3.
Conversation for Structure: When we know what we want to create, the next step is to devise a plan. The steps in our plan might only emerge one at a time. Nevertheless, we build our plans with the steps as we become aware of them. Maintaining forward movement is vital.
4.
Conversation for Commitment: Once a plan and supporting structure are in place, along with the identified action steps, we can step back and ask, "Who will execute each step?" We identify potential candidates, then seek their commitment to take the action that produces the result that corresponds with each identified task. The commitments we make to ourselves about who we want to be are the most fundamental commitments we will make.
5.
Conversation for Action: Once a plan and supporting structure are in place, along with the identified action steps, we can step back and ask, "Who will execute each step?" We identify potential candidates, then seek their commitment to take the action that produces the result that corresponds with each identified task. The commitments we make to ourselves about who we want to be are the most fundamental commitments we will make.
6.
Conversation for Accountability: After a conversation for commitment has occurred and the expectations are clear, being accountable for doing what you want to do is a sign of respect. Sometimes people need to be guided into creating a better out;me/ ReÅwctfulzdis?
