The Ecology of Conversation : Learning to Communicate From Your Core

Great conversations create something enduring for all of us such as mutual learning, empathy, innovation, and a sense of well-being and belonging that leads to a long and authentically lived life. The Ecology of Conversation empowers others with information, personal stories, and tools for excavating and understanding the inner messages that power one's relationships with self-and others.

Judi Beck has navigated the field of executive development for over twenty years and through both her professional and personal experiences, provides a guidebook that will lead others down a path to achieving both authentic conversations and more meaningful relationships. Through the included questions and self-exploratory exercises, Beck enlightens others on how to:

• Decipher the ingrained messages that influence interactions
• Acquire generative conversational skills and improve listening skills
• Direct newfound self-awareness toward deeper interactions
• Create a group of committed conversationalists

Especially designed for book groups, The Ecology of Conversation shares innovative ways to facilitate spirited and generative conversation that ultimately allows others to embrace, experience, and profoundly influence changes in both their own lives as well as the world.
