This can be visually, are we are thinking about what to say next can contribute to a less productive chat as we aren't really listening to the other person, are we interested in what the other participants are saying, do we respect or empathise with the discussion/individuals and most importantly are we actually engaging or simply passing time until we get to talk to the person we really want to talk to all have a beneficial or negative effect on the conversation flow.<br />I believe the secret is to engage, listen, ask open questions and share in a two way conversation yet not being too concerned when you haven't contributed to the flow. Social events should be an opportunity to see different perspectives on areas we haven't thought about and in doing so assist in our own development as individuals as well as being fun.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06017067288948596653noreply@blogger.com
