Remarkable People: Alison Wood Brooks on cracking the conversation code
Description
Brooks isn’t your typical academic. As the creator of Harvard’s provocatively titled “How to Talk Gooder” course, she brings a refreshing blend of rigorous research and practical wisdom to the art of conversation. Her new book Talk synthesizes years of research into actionable insights about how we can all become better communicators.
In this enlightening discussion, Brooks introduces us to her TALK framework – Topics, Asking questions, Levity, and Kindness. She challenges common misconceptions about conversation, revealing why small talk isn’t just meaningless chatter and why preparing conversation topics shows care rather than artificiality.
