Creative Conversation: seven habits for better connections

-

Our 24/7 culture makes the world more accessible, locally and globally, facilitating connection with family, friends and colleagues. And yet, with growing narratives of division within and between societies, increasingly people are asking if the very technologies that connect us are also driving us apart.  

In this workshop with Pete Osborn and Eddy Canfor-Dumas – otherwise known as the Ant and Dec of dialogue – you’ll find out how to improve the quality of the connections and conversations you have. Diving into the challenge of connection in the 24/7 world, you’ll take part in a powerful exercise to show how much connection can be achieved in just a five-minute conversation.  

Come away with some powerful tools and free resources that you can use 24/7, wherever and however your conversations might take place- networking, at work and in your personal life.
