Session on 24 November 2020 19:30 UTC - View on timetable

Session

What does it look like when people are genuinely “connecting” with each other in their conversations? How do you know when you have that connection with someone? According to communication science, these rather intuitive interactions are not accidental. There are patterns, signs, and science behind those moments. This session will introduce a simple heuristic of interaction, Dialogic Orientation Quadrant, that you can use as a tool to learn how to have better conversations.

Learning outcomes

You will be able to use a simple listening map to organize narratives for your next responses.
