Part 1 - What is in the Way of Developing Great Conversation Skills?

In this section we will take a look at what is in the way of your ability to develop good conversation skills. We’ll acknowledge where you are right now and simply pay attention to the negative habits that are keeping you stuck and resistant to change. To get the most out of this section you’ll need to read it, think about what you’ve read and then make some new choices for the future.

Even if you are a quiet person or you tend to be quiet when meeting new people this material can help you to become more comfortable and more expressive regardless of who you are talking to.

1. Be Aware and Make a Choice

When it comes to personal change the first step is to become aware of what you are doing and why you do it. For example, let’s say you rarely approach people. Take an objective look at this behavior and you might notice that you do sometimes but not usually and only when you have a sense of purpose or good reason to. This revelation can then be applied to approach people more often and with less anxiety.

The second step is to choose to change. You don’t have to change, it’s entirely up to you. What is important is to notice you have a choice and to then decide what you want to do. Do you want to be more sociable? Do you want better conversation skills? Make a clear and definite choice to learn, grow and improve and it will drive all your behavior going forward.

2. Notice Which Negative Habits You Have

For all of the negative habits in this section I’d like you to read through the descriptions of how the habits manifest themselves
