7 keys, to have successful conversation with anyone, anytime

This course is designed from many surveys and workshops, so that you can talk and behave like a politician when you meet people.

Leil Lowndes, Dale Carnegie, have many inputs in this course, and our study with Microsoft and South California University surveys, helped us to develop body language measures. During our workshops with many students in Altinbas University in Istanbul, and various enterprise employee, we developed this course’s outline. 

Whether you love standing around and chatting or cringe at the thought of yet another “forced” conversation, being a good conversationalist is important for both networking and forming office relationships. So, let’s talk—specifically, about how you can improve your conversational skills.

It can be hard to talk to other people sometimes! Whether you’re talking with a friend or someone you just met, there are some basic conversational skills you can practice to make yourself more confident and welcoming. Try to be positive and engaged when speaking to another person, giving them your full attention. Ask open-ended questions to keep the conversation flowing, and give cues, like nodding your head, to show that you’re listening. The main thing to remember is that you want your attention to be directed at the person, and not at your phone or anything else surrounding you. It’s okay if you glance away and break eye contact once in a while, but in general, try to watch the other person as much as you can.
