Episode 49 - The Art of Give and Take in Conversation

Unless you have the training, it can be easy to talk at people rather than learning how to talk to them, leaving you lonely and disconnected.  In this episode, I introduce you step-by-step to the simple, life changing practice of “tracking impact” and creating rich connection in conversation.

 1:21 My client told me that our sessions were different

2:04 “Tracking impact” is the practice that shifts talking at to talking to someone

2:45 The utterly socially awkward version of me from college

3:30 I ask you for impact.

5:02 Being like a memory foam mattress in conversation

5:45 I asked my client a strange question, but it was what he came to me to learn

7:15 Conversations don’t have to be dead – they can be alive, spontaneous and heartfelt

7:48 This week’s homework and a short demo with my husband

Resources: Many of these forms of communication I learned from the practice of Circling. There are several different schools of Circling. I gravitate most to what’s called "Integral Circling", which you can read about here: https://integralcentered.com/circling/.
