Adult Conversations - Robert D. Collins

. .

Résumé :
Have you ever been in a conversation that went sideways on you and you didn't know why. Sure you have, we all have, and it doesn't matter whether it was with your spouse, children, friends, client, boss or employee. You found yourself at a loss because you didn't know what caused the sudden shift in direction. That is what this book is about. Adult conversations will give you the tools to redirect the conversation where it belongs or signal you that it is time to shut it down. My hope is that through my stories, this tool or concept can be passed on and applied in your daily life. Nothing comes easily. Using this communication tool takes time and patience. Simplicity is the key to this book. If you have the right tool and know the correct application of that tool, then the task becomes much easier. Sometimes it is difficult to talk to certain people, even a person you have known all of your life. The key to unlocking that cumbersome situation is simply knowing the tool to use. That's what this book is about. I inserted a number of short stories to illustrate how this tool works. Enjoy. ...
