When did you last have
a good conversation?
Interesting Ted Talk
Dona Anderson
Communication has definitely changed in many ways the last 20 years or so and this last year with the pandemic even more things came to help us manage in the closures and isolation.
It's amazing all the You tube videos, Zoom, on line courses pod casts + that take us away from the loss of personal connections to being able to connect through computers, phones etc.
How often do you think about how you communicate, listen and interact with others or even how you do it or has it now just become kind of automatic.
How long is your attention span ... in person, on a device.
Are you at work, home, commuting, watching a movie.
How engaged are you in that conversation and how many interruptions occur or other things that seek your attention.
Have a listen.

Lets See how many get our attention.
I never really thought of all this before but now I will.
Are there any of her 10 ways that You connected with more than others.
PS are you a listener or the talker.
I like her ending - prepare to be amazed.

I guess my photo should say,
Who is talking - Who is Listening.
bye for now.
Great information in this short video. I think we all probably connect to several of her messages. This is something that needs practice in both the talking & listening. I know it's hard sometimes not to put your experience into the conversation, we often seem to be waiting for that pause to see if it offers us the chance join in. Words can mean so much both positive & negatively, let's make sure ours are good ones. This vide brought me to a meditation I wrote in Moving Forward from the heart titled "Words to be savored and Treasured" on p 75. I'll share it with you in a later post. Take Care.
