The Art of Conversation
BBC Radio 4
Conversation is crucial to the evolution of human society. According to philosopher, Prof Theodore Zeldin: "Conversation is the meeting of minds, resulting in the transformation and re-shaping of ideas". The better we converse, the better we succeed in both our public and private lives."Conversation doesn't just re-shuffle the cards; it creates new cards."
Olivia O'Leary follows Prof Zeldin and collaborators as they teach businesses, the police and other organisations how to apply conversation skills to break down communication barriers and increase productivity and efficiency.
