KK, my reaction is we must realize some people are beyond hope and must then accept people for who and how they are.

Such great tips! However, I agree with Tam. What do you do if you know someone who regularly takes over the conversation and interrupts? He has even been told by others that he does this and his excuse is that he used to be afraid to talk so now he’s making up for it! He is also rude when others actually get the chance to say something. He interrupts, yawns and will start talking to some one else while the person speaking is in mid-sentence. Sigh.

I know several people like this at it is a big pet peeve of mine. I try to hold conversation correctly and politely, asking them questions and being interested in their answers, but it doesnt work very well when they dont have the same manners or social awareness of what they are doing (giving much more detail than necessary to the conversation or turning everything anyone else says around to be a story about themselves) – Thank you for outlining how to hold a conversation properly, but if the person you are talking with isnt aware of the same conversation etiquette, they overtake the conversation and they go into their own world of talking about themselves.

I went to dinner last night with some old friends and after several hours of the two of them talking about themselves (one was particularly long winded about every last detail of her job and everyone else in her office) I realized as we left that they never asked anything about what I am up to these days.

How do you teach/encourage friends/acquaintances to hold a well rounded conversation?

Dear Dick: I do consider you and all 5,000+ other subscribers to this blog/newsletter as “valuable customers.” If by not being a customer you mean you are not “paying money” for any of our services, that’s fine. Your continued words of encouragement and periodic kind referrals would be all I want in payment for being of service in this way. To this end… if you or anyone reading this reply knows of someone in a company or an individual who would enjoy receiving these tips and are in a position to engage our services for a corporate seminar, organization presentation, conference break-out or keynote, or private briefing, please tell them about us and also let me know about the referral. Actually, in the months ahead I have a great referral program being planned where you can win prizes for your referrals. Your support means a great deal to me. Thank you!

You must have a new web site designer. It is very attractive and the content is very helpful all the time.
Thank you for keeping me in your address book even though I’m not a valuable customer.

Regards to Ron.
