How Better Conversations Lead To Better Outcomes

Did you know that according to a Stanford University study, nine conversations out of ten miss their mark? Yes! Only 10% of what you express is understood exactly as you meant it. While we don’t always perceive it, we have all lived through difficult situations:

• A conflict where others interpret our words out of context and our intention is misunderstood.

• Being interrupted, ignored or excluded from a conversation when we are a stakeholder.

• Turf wars, when being right takes precedence over common sense.

In this fun interactive session, we will explore some of the filters that prevent us from being completely “in-sync” with one another, as well as areas where you can pay more attention to ensure more productive conversations.
