Hi,

Conversations are the foundation of great friendships, partnerships, and working relationships.

I went through the best communication books looking for conversation advice, and found Five Conversation Commandments (five actionable takeaways).

​The 5 Conversation Commandments (1-Page Summary)​

Favorite Insight:

In How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie writes, "You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."

Before a conversation, don't waste time thinking about personal stories that you can share. Instead, focus on what interesting stories you can get out of others.

Start by taking the FORD acronym for a drive, and imagine what interesting things may have recently happened in their Family, Occupation, Recreational time, or ambitious pursuits (aka Dreams).

Have a productive week,

- Nathan
