How to Have a Bloody Good Conversation
Have we forgotten how to talk to each other?
We communicate non-stop online, but the more we type the less we talk, and then we get out of the habit of having a bloody good conversation.
Yet conversations build important connections. They can double a company’s turnover, forge lasting relationships, land that dream job, so how can we make sure every conversation ends well for everyone?
Join two conversationalists, journalist and broadcaster Mai Davies and communications consultant Sarah Wright, as they explore the ins and outs of having a bloody good conversation.
It might just change your life!
