“All conversations are with myself, and sometimes they involve other people.” – Susan Scott
How often do you have conversations with yourself? Probably all of the time. Susan Scott author of Fierce Conversations suggests that every verbal conversions are with self.
What does that mean? Simply, you have unique life experiences, unique understandings, and a one sided view on most topics. No two people think the same way about everything, not even identical twins.
Because you are an individual you will always understand what others are saying according to your experiences, your understandings, and your personal view on the world. That is why all conversations are with yourself.
How do you involve other people in your conversations? Two ways:
1) Help them understand your experiences and viewpoints that surround the conversation at hand as clearly as possible.
2) Understand their experiences and viewpoints surrounding the conversation at hand as clearly as possible.
The more you involve others in your conversations the more enriching your conversations will be.
