ID: m14485
Language: English (en)
Summary: CHALLENGE TWO: In order to help your conversation partners cooperate with you and to reduce possible misunderstandings, start important conversations by inviting your conversation partner to join you in the SPECIFIC KIND of conversation you want to have. you can use one of 30 basic conversational invitations (explored) such as, ”Right now I would like to take a few minutes and ask you about... [subject].” The more the conversation is going to mean to you, the more important it is for your conversation partner to understand the big picture. If you need to have a long, complex, or emotion-laden conversation with someone, it will make a big difference if you briefly explain your conversational intention first and then invite the consent of your intended conversation partner.
