Not all conversations are the same. Some conversations can have a very serious repecussion in your life. It's up to us to decide whether or not a moment is important and if we're gong to take advantage of that moment, or let it slip through our fingers. And so there are better ways to do it. Certainly most meeting suck, at least if you look at the data.
Daniel Stillman is a conversation designer and coach. He’s the host of
The Conversation Factory podcast and author of
Good Talk: How to Design Conversations That Matter.
This is a special episode of The Informed Life: it’s the first recorded in person, while Daniel and I attended and taught at UX Lisbon in May of 2022. Fittingly, it’s an experiment: a freeform, less produced conversation about how we converse. In some cases, this results in less context than you may expect. In particular, you’ll hear references to the names of other speakers at the conference. I’ve included links to their profiles in the show notes.
