The Art of Better Conversations: Transforming Learning in the Workplace

Conversations are the primary way humans relate to each other; they drive innovation and performance in organisations. The Better Conversations Foundation is taking a fresh approach to soft skills training, with our Open Source six-hour course that is broadly applicable, easily deliverable and adaptable for different audiences.

​

In this interactive workshop we will you a taste of our first module which demonstrates how our state affects our conversations.

​

Together we’ll then break down how the course works, identify the design patterns behind it and explore how these patterns can be used for a wide variety of skills training. We’ll consider how tools and concepts from software engineering and ISO quality management systems help deliver a highly engaging and scalable experience.

​

Finally we’ll discuss the impact of our approach, the importance of community building and share examples of how people are using the framework at work and in their personal lives.

​

  1. Understand how your state affects your conversations

  2. Discover a template for delivering courses which flex with the demands of daily life
