Connecting Conversations May

It’s the third Friday of the month, so it’s time to connect!

Reach out and find somebody you don’t usually speak to, book a time, and let the conversation take you away.

“I learned that the magic of conversation is that it can move you on that little bit. It can help you to build trust, to learn new things, and to see the world from a different perspective.”

Create and share your personal profile to tell the person a bit about:

1. What people appreciate about you
2. What is important to you
3. How best to support you

If you want to build trust through conversation, here are a few tips:

Be genuine: People can tell when you’re being fake, so be yourself.

Be interested in others: Ask questions and listen to what people have to say.

Be respectful: Even if you disagree with someone, be respectful of their opinion.

Be open to feedback: Be willing to listen to feedback and learn from your mistakes.

Conversation is a powerful tool that can help you to build trust, learn new things, and grow as a person. Make the effort to talk to people from different groups, and you might be surprised at what you find.
