According to the motto: communication is the basis of success, effective management of discussions can help to achieve set goals. Strategic and proven methods contribute significantly to success. A positive side effect is that interpersonal relationships are strengthened and positively influenced. But what do you need to bear in mind?
1. put yourself in the role of your conversation partner
If you want to have a conversation, it is very important to analyse your conversation partner. For example, ask yourself the following question: What level of knowledge does my counterpart have? After all, you cannot assume that the person you are talking to knows everything you know.
2. score with neutrality
In everyday professional life, it is often best to be neutral towards your recipient. Subjectivity and your inner attitude usually have no place in a business environment, even though this is usually easier said than done. Sometimes it can help to focus on the target on the way to the target. 3.
3. stick to manners
Politeness and manners are of course also part of the repertoire of successful conversation. Let the person you are talking to finish what he or she has to say, don't just listen but also listen (active listening) and always maintain eye contact.
Of course, these are only a few pointers for successful and effective conversation. You can find out more in a professional seminar on conducting conversations.
