This is the season of holiday parties and family get-togethers. We are expected to eat, drink and be merry. Conversation is an important element of the festivities.
Many of us have lost the art of conversation. We connect through email, text messages, blogs and voice mail. These connections are not conversations.
Experts say a conversation is when two people engage. One hears the other and the other genuinely responds. There is give and take.
The best advice these experts share for creating a good conversation: Listen. It will spark something in you. It will generate emotion and feelings with others.
Whether you are an extrovert or introvert, you can enjoy the parties by listening. Talk is cheap. Good conversation is priceless.
