As we approach a new generation of students entering college during the first time in history where multiple generations have to work together, the art of conversations is important more than ever. In order for cross-generation communication and success to occur, there has to be an understanding and willingness between generations to be vulnerable and rethink their egotism. Dive into Sean's 7 steps on becoming a better conversationalist. Each chapter outlines different stories and information that, in my experience, allowed me to become a better conversationalist with my friends, students, and professionals. At the conclusion of each chapter are questions and writing activities I encourage you to do before reading the next chapter to help you reflect on your own experiences. In order to grow ourselves or our teams, we have to admit and recognize what our weaknesses are.
