Let’s Talk: Conversation and Connection

We interact through conversation and so much can happen in our daily conversations: for better or worse. We’ve all been in conversations that were derailed; we’ve also been in conversations that opened up new opportunities. The good news is: there are things we can do to avoid conversational pitfalls and get the most out of our interactions.

Creating connection is key. Crafting a goal and a path to meeting it can make all the difference.

This workshop will help you learn how to put your focus on your audience and adjust when necessary so that you can communicate with ease in the moment and create genuine connection.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

Learn to quickly create an authentic and empathetic connection with their audience (conversation partner)
Employ new skills to identify and understand their audience
Develop a practice of active listening
Unearth and clarify their goals for their conversation
Practice using an Exact Communication planning tool that can be used with many audiences and for many different kinds of conversations

Workshop Structure

Exact Communication workshops are highly interactive. We keep our instructor-to-participant ratio small because we value as much individual time with our participants as possible. We will work with groups to customize workshop sizes, hours, and number of instructors to meet your needs.

For Zoom:

“A quick shout-out to Exact Communication for a positive and interesting experience. They got our group of strangers connecting and communicating with their intuitive and surprisingly simple exercises. Their program got us all focused, talking, and generating ideas in short order—and gave us take-away tools useful for future conversations."
