© 2008, Frances E. Kendall, Ph.D.Practicing Effective Conversations: Before the Conversation Begins Know yourself: your style, your values about communicating, your cultural biases about openness, honesty, voice level, conflict, and language. Recognize differences in personal realities: the informal or formal power imbalances in terms of aspects of identity and associated privilege, position in the organization, social and cultural contexts.
© 2008, Frances E. Kendall, Ph.D.Practicing Effective Conversations: Before the Conversation Begins Before entering into any discussion, identify what prompted the conversation and your desired end goal: what do you want the outcome of the conversation to be? Plan for the discussion; you are more likely to get what you want from the conversation if you have taken the time beforehand to identify the areas that you would like to cover.

Kendall, Ph.D.Practicing Effective Conversations: During the Conversation Remember the three basic elements of the process of dialogue:Listening: with a willingness to be influenced; as though the speaker is really wise; to learn from others different from ourselves.Suspension: the ability to notice and temporarily suspend one’s reactions, feelings, opinions, and assumptions. Inquiry: to draw out inferences and assumptions (ours and others’); to uncover and reveal.
