How often do you walk away from a conversation feeling heard, like you put across the things you wanted to? Feeling relaxed, not frantic?And how often do you workshops produce those same sensations?If it's less often than you'd like, Johnnie Moore can help, with his Unhurried model for conversation (and more).As facilitators, we can learn a lot — directly and indirectly — from this approach. Unhurried might make you think ‘slow', but it's not necessarily so. Rather than purely slowing down, Johnnie explores what happens when we add layers and awareness to our interactions. When we take time to share, listen, and reflect, the conversation sounds very different.In an increasingly demanding and results-oriented professional space, this is becoming a rare skill. And, as it becomes rarer, it will become vital that we reclaim the time and space to be unhurried.Find out about:How Johnnie developed the concept of unhurried conversations to what it is todayWhy slowness isn't necessarily the goal of being unhurriedHow to use props and models as guides to ease your way into unhurried conversationWhy Johnnie's reflective practice uses a sliding scale of satisfaction, rather than failure vs. successHow to own your role in the conversation and step into honest relating about your experienceWhat ‘airtime' in conversation is and why it is often the root of frustrationsHow to have an effective conversation while speaking gibberishDon't miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.And download the free 1-page summary, so you can always have the key points of this episode to hand.LinksWatch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Johnnie's websiteThe Unhurried websiteConnect to Johnnie:On LinkedInSupport the show
