Today we are talking to Alison Hardingham who is a business psychologist and also an Associate Professor at Henley Management College. Alison runs Yellow Dog Consulting and has published 7 books on her field. I met Alison and found her insights into the art of conversations fascinating, in fact so fascinating that the telephone interview overran, so the second part will be published as Show 161! We discuss in this first part

What is a conversation?

How our conversational skills change through our childhood

Has socialisation affected our way of communicating

How to turn a 'bad' conversation round

What personal development do you need to be good at conversations?

Watch out for the second part when we discuss how to hold an effective conversation
