This Ted Talk given by Celeste Headlee talks about the different ways to make a conversation better. In this current state of society having verbal conversations has become less common. Most of us have forgotten what makes a good conversation. She brings up how each individual conversation will be different. This is because not everything is always about you. She also touched on being present in the conversation at all times. While each tip she gives is extremely helpful the one thing that stuck out to me was admitting when you don't know something.
Being able to communicate with someone that you aren't educated on a certain topic can lead to more in-depth conversation. Right now its important to have these conversations. It can lead for you to understand , get a better perspective or learn something new. A new perspective can change or challenge your way of thinking. Each person experiences everything differently. This also allows for the other person to be heard and understood.
Overall, completely listening to the other person in a conversation is my key takeaway. I loved this TED talk and learned a lot. I will implement this into the next time I am having a conversation. Actively listen to the other person is how impactful and engaging conversations are made.
