When was the last time you had a conversation with someone–your spouse, your kids, a co-worker, maybe a casual acquaintance–where you truly listened to and attempted to understand the other person’s point of view rather than simply defending your own? Author and true renaissance man Ivan Obolensky contends that in today’s overly connected society, there is very little real connection and understanding between individuals; Ivan labels it a conversation crisis, across the kitchen table, in the workplace and also in national and international politics. Tune in for Ivan’s formula for a better connection with folks around you. Identify steps you need to adopt right now in order to create effective mutual understanding with another.. Learn how to enter every conversation thinking “win/win” and at all costs how not to commit “assumicide.” Host Roy Richards presents three effective strategies for countering and overcoming age discrimination during a job interview.
