Good Conversations to Improve Relationships
To help you get started breaking old rules on improving your relationships and adopting new ones that will start improving your relationships, I have included five powerful questions to ask during conversations:
1. How about if we break the normal conversations rules and try something really new and different?
2. Even though what I’m about to say might be hard for you to hear, are you willing to hear it anyway?”
3. Are there any unwritten rules you are following right now?
4. Could I interrupt you and have you just listen for a while?
5. How about if we take turns talking and listening for a while?
Start asking these questions more often, and see what happens.
