"Number five: If you don't know, say that you don't know."

Yea i tried this one, my teacher didn't really like it.

@Edward_Lejeune01

You'd be surprised how much a person will reveal if you just listen. In a world where everyone is talking, people truly want to be heard.

Celeste Headlee: 10 ways to  have a better conversation:- 
1. Don't multitask- Be in present with mind 
2. Don't pontificate- Enter  every conversation assuming that you have something to learn. Don't just try to get your point across. Everybody is an expert in something.
3. Use open ended questions- Who, what, when, where, why and how. 
4. Go with the flow- Thoughts will come into your mind and go out of your mind. Let them go. Don't think for two minutes about a clever question to ask.
5. If you don't know say that you don't know. 
6. Don't equate your experience with theirs- It is never the same. It's not about you. Don't take that moment. Conversations are not a promotional opportunity.
7. Try not to repeat yourself.
8. Stay out of the weeds- People don't care about the years, the names, the dates all those details that you are struggling to come up with in your mind. They care about you. 
9. Listen- Buddha said: If your mouth is open you're not learning. And Calvin Coolidge said: No man ever listened his way out of a job. We don't listen with the intent to understand, we listen with the intent to reply. 
10. Be brief- A good conversation is like a miniskirt, short enough to retain interest, but long enough to cover the subject.

THANKS ME LATER ❤️

This woman is an amazing presenter, and her points all stick. You can tell she's the person to ask about how to have a better conversation.

Was expecting the worst on this one.  Turned out the title was literal and honest.  I have seen so many similar titles that misuse words like "Conversation" that I have grown a tad jaded.  That was actual good advice and well presented.

@Smashachu

I've frequently re-watched this video dozens of times over the last 4-5 years and it's actually changed my social life completely.  I used to struggle to be able to hold a conversation with anyone, now after practicing and utilizing these skills i'm literally able to have a fun conversation with anyone while smiling and laughing.

@derek_reads

There was this quote i once read on internet that said, "Don't be Interesting. Be Interested."
and I think this is one of the best RULES to have a Better Conversation.

@MINVISUAL

She IS amazing. Absolutely concise, informative and open-minded.  Wish TED talks hosted more of such people.

@intriguedheart6479

I was never taught any of this from a young age so now I must teach myself to change my incompetent communication habits.

"A good conversation is like a miniskirt;short enough to retain interest,but long enough to cover the subject"
Damn

@sl9105

I am still waiting when will Ted is gonna talk

@finalruner

For Those Who Are Visual Learners: Rules (1-10)
1. Don't Multi-task, Be Present. Focus on that Conversation.
2. Don't Pontificate. Don't state your hard opinion unless it carries on the conversation. (I think)
3. Enter every conservation assuming you have something to learn and use who what when where and why. Let the other one describe the situation
4. Don't stop listening. Let thoughts ebb and flow continue focusing on the conservation.  
5. Admit to not knowing something. Air on the side of caution, don;t pretend to be an expert.
6. Don't assume your experiences are their experiences  All experiences are unique.
7. Don't repeat yourself.
8. Details don't matter, leave them out.
9. LISTEN. Resist the urge to talk, and avoid being distracted by random thoughts.
10. Be Brief

Be Interested.....

Assume everyone has some crazy thing about them....

@zachariah535

I come back at least every month or two to rewatch this. It's a great reminder on how to make sure your communication doesn't suck.

@kaylasheehan2167

I feel like something she neglected to touch on, and that teens especially struggle  with a lot, is that you should not rely on others opinions or others responses too much. Listen to the right people and avoid being swayed by those who are trying to force a change that's not to improve you . Have the ability to listen well enough to interpret what is worthwhile to take in. Don't push your opinion, but hold by it well enough to discuss it with someone

@meltemd4490

This ted talk’s effect was drastic in my life, it made me come out of my shell more, hold much longer conversations with people and feel more confident about my interactions. Thank you so much

@mariamassey5468

GREAT TEACHER...THIS IS HOW U TEACH PROPERLY. SHE IS INFORMATIVE, STRAIGHTFORWARD & PASSIONATE

@LolaWiggAlbury

who would have thought - in 2021, we are even more divided on those same topics Celeste speaks about back in 2016!
