The Power of Conversation: How the World's Oldest Technology Fuels Progress
Some people make you feel intelligent. Others make you feel like your brain has shrunk.
The difference isn't you. It's valence-the invisible charge beneath every conversation. Get it wrong and you collapse someone's thinking from 720 possibilities to 2. Get it right and you unlock creativity, confidence, and connection. In The Power of Conversation, Brady Wilson reveals what thirty years of working with leaders has taught him: conversation is the oldest technology on earth-and still the most powerful. It releases energy. It rebuilds trust. It turns strangers into partners and enemies into allies. T his book gives you a framework: One Aim, Two Drives, Three Moves, Four Styles, Five Needs, a Sixth Sense (Sensing and Switching) and Seven Conversations that work at the office and the kitchen table. T he world isn't short on tech or talent. It's short on conversations that bring out the best in people. This book shows how you have them.
