5 Mistakes to Kill any Conversation

5 Mistakes to Kill any Conversation

Have you had some difficult conversations lately? Did you end up feeling angry, upset or irritable?

Conversations are literally the life and blood of all relationships. The quality of our conversations impacts the quality of our relationships. And the quality of our relationships, impacts the quality of our lives. It's that simple!

Here are 5 mistakes that can kill any conversation:

Mistake 1:

Assuming that others will see what we see, feel what we feel, and think what we think. The fact is that we all have a different point of view, based on our past experiences, beliefs and expectations.

Mistake 2:

Inability to recognize that we STOP listening when we are angry, threatened or fearful.

Mistake 3:

As human beings we have an addiction to prove ourselves right, and persuade others of our ‘rightness’ at any cost.

Mistake 4:

Sugar-coating your words is not enough! People feel our energy and pick up negative signals, even when they are 10 feet away.

Mistake 5:

Not recognizing the fact that people may forget what you said, but they NEVER forget the way you made them feel.

Learn to have constructive conversations even when they are challenging!

Stay Positive & Spread Smiles!
