What Is A True Conversation?

A true conversation is a gift to ourselves and others. We are willing to express who we really are, and to fully listen to the other. We stop judging what is being said and grant each person the right to be who they are. A true conversation leads to deep connection, where defensiveness, loneliness and emptiness melt away.

We speak for many reasons, to give and receive information, to buy and sell. These are transactional conversations. Other times we speak control, impress, gain recognition and approval. These conversations are for the purpose of personal gain or manipulation, not for knowing and being known.
