Hey is anyone listening? Conversation is a two-way street.
Are you the garbage truck; full
of garbage and lumbering through the conversation? Are you the street sweeper; collecting all the tidbits, and sweeping them up in your comments to leave
the street neat clean (Disregarding other’s truths)? Are you the Volkswagen; small and leaving little of yourself behind? Are you the motorcycle; zipping in and out of the conversation, no time
to talk today, always in a hurry? Are
you the Hummer or the Jaguar; drawing attention to your importance and knowledge?
Joyce admits to her audience of being
all of these at one time or another. But, now she is working harder at being the mini van, the updated version of mother’s
station wagon, room for her scooter without cramping her style, maybe with 4 WD, after all she’s from MN, and on occasion
she needs to plow through 20” of snow.
This lighthearted look at communication skills leaves Joyce’s audience evaluating their own place on the two-way
conversation street, and what truly makes an effective and gratifying exchange on the street.
