Successful conversations are about more than just words.
Preparation is key, but so are our moods and emotions.
When we prepare for conversations, we often consider the words we are going to say, and even the words our listeners may say back, but forget to consider the moods we are in, or the mood our listeners may be in.
Taking the time to consider the mood we’re in, the mood our listeners may be in, and how that may impact the effectiveness of a conversation, can be time well spent.
