The Key That Unlocks Hyper-Learning: Having High-Quality, Making-Meaning Conversations

Hyper-Learners have learned how to excel at having High-Quality, Making- Meaning Conversations with others. That is the path to building Caring, Trusting Relationships and to optimizing team performance and Collective Intelligence.

A High-Quality, Making-Meaning Conversation is a mutual conversation where each person is striving to be understood by the other and where each person is striving to understand the other.

A High-Quality, Making-Meaning Conversation is not two people having their own monologues. It is not a debate. It is not a contrived conversation designed to get a preordained result. It is not a going-through- the-motions conversation, nor is it a conversation where the answer or the result is always a compromise or the meeting of others halfway. It is not a conversation to determine a winner. It is not a competition. It is a conversation that ends in mutual understanding.

How many of your conversations are High-Quality, Making-Meaning Conversations?
