I enjoy conversation, dialog, and discussion. I also think that I have a tendency to talk less cautiously than might be ideal, and to take more time than I need. I certainly have a tendency to feel anxiety after conversation about whether my words matched my thoughts, and whether I spoke more than I needed. In education and professional settings, I also think it is important to separate my opinions and guesses from statements about facts and experiences.
I’m working on becoming more mindful of how I speak, and seeking good ways to practice doing so. I also wonder whether there are frameworks available to help groups communicated more effectively, in meetings, and moderated discussion.
