We are living through a communication crisis
![Page 6: Better Conversations - SAGE Promotional Site...Better Conversations High-Impact Institute: April 6-7, July 20-21, Pre-Conference: July 10 October 5-6 Engaging Students: October 12-13](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb593e7de119e0972774256/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
communication is central to school improvement
![Page 7: Better Conversations - SAGE Promotional Site...Better Conversations High-Impact Institute: April 6-7, July 20-21, Pre-Conference: July 10 October 5-6 Engaging Students: October 12-13](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb593e7de119e0972774256/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
We have found that the single factor common to every successful change initiative is that relationships improve. If relationships improve, things get better. If they remain the same or get worse, ground is lost. Thus leaders must be consummate relationship builders with diverse people and groups – especially with people different than themselves.
Michael Fullan

Effective communication is an essential skill for a fulfilled life

We are experiencing a radical brokenness in all of existence. Times are out of joint. Alienation and disharmony, conflict and turmoil, enmity and hatred characterize so much of life.

Complex, fulfilling relationships don’t suddenly appear in our lives fully formed. Rather, they develop one encounter at a time.

But if I try to change how I communicate,
won’t I look like fake?

Your question
Are you having more or fewer good conversations? Are you open to trying to have better conversations?
![Page 15: Better Conversations - SAGE Promotional Site...Better Conversations High-Impact Institute: April 6-7, July 20-21, Pre-Conference: July 10 October 5-6 Engaging Students: October 12-13](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070915/5fb593e7de119e0972774256/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Listening is only powerful and effective if it is authentic. Authenticity means that you are
listening because you are curious and because you care, not just because you are supposed to.
The issue, then, is this: Are you curious? Do you care?

A common experience you no doubt have had is the conversation that begins with your telling someone about something you are grappling
with and before you’ve even finished the story, the other person says, “I know exactly what you
mean. About three years ago …” And he’s off and running. In a matter of seconds, this
conversation shifted from being about you to being about him”…
