3 signs you are sabotaging a conversation or a meeting (and what to do instead).
Simple ways you can turn a necessary dialogue into a breakthrough.
#1 - You're listening to argue
If you are going into a meeting or conversation ready to defend your point of view or your approach, you've already lost. Instead, listen to understand and unleash new possibilities.
#2 - You're listening to point out faults
Your intents will quickly be evident and your partners in the meeting will instantly become closed to what you have to say. Instead, show your curiosity and clarify with thoughtful questions.
#3 - You've already decided the other needs to change
The dialogue, in your mind, is needed because your job is to change the other person/group. Instead, show your support and ask what they need from you.
Work with me (pro bono)
