NOTE

Tips for Improving Conversational Skills

  1. Avoid 'boomerasking' by directly sharing your experiences or feelings instead of asking a question for the sole purpose to interject with your own thoughts. This applies to both positive and negative experiences. 2. Give up control in conversations to let them flow naturally, avoiding toxic attempts to control the other person. 3. Pay attention to nonverbal communication, as it can reveal emotional intelligence and connection with others, as shown in NASA's recruitment process for astronauts.
