I love TED Talks! There have been some really fascinating ones lately.
“TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages.”
Occasionally I’ll refer to a TED talk when trying to teach a concept to the kids. A few weeks ago it became apparent to me that we were lacking greatly – as in Grand Canyon gaping hole – in conversation skills. So I began searching TED talks and found this talk on How to Have a Better Conversation.
The kids and I watched it together and talked about which points were easier for us and which ones we needed to work on. And then we did some practicing of what to do and what not to do. It was revealing to all of us.
Happy Honing of your Conversation Skills!
