Conversation is a meeting of minds with different memories and habits. When minds meet, they don’t just exchange facts: they transform them, reshape them, draw different implications from them, and engage in new trains of thought. Conversation doesn’t just reshuffle the cards: it creates new cards.

— Theodore Zeldin

The Transformational Power of Real Conversations

In an age of hyper-connectivity, the power and art of conversations is being lost. Conversations are not a rehearsed stage presentation or a simple exchange of information between people —they can be so much more. At times, they can be a process to clarify your own thinking, they can present an opportunity to be educated, and they can be a creative spark that changes your whole life. They can give a voice to the voiceless. A conversation is simply a vehicle, not the prize itself, as the real power comes in the form of expression, understanding, and developing a genuine connection with another human being.

At the heart of it all, real conversations are human. They embody our humanity by encompassing the sharing of emotions, a willingness to be vulnerable, and a receptiveness to fresh and different ideas. Real conversations invite the sense of “us” into a space where a participatory reality unfolds.

It’s Time for “ConverSessions” that Matter

It’s time to shift from stuffy, over-rehearsed stage monologues to real interactive conversations. TED TALKS are great, but the transformational missing ingredient is conversation. When we have the courage to transition from simply being in front of, or in the audience, to actually interacting and exploring people and issues at deeper levels, we grow from the experience.  One robust conversation can shift the direction of change forever. And when held inside a safe space of love, you will always come out the other side better.

Those that joined us at ENCOUNTER 360° earlier this year enjoyed an amazing roundup of ConverSessions (not speeches, not presentations) but rather a continuous,  interactive dialogue on a wide range of Personal Development topics. We listened. We learned. We engaged. And that’s we’re now setting the stage for even more ConverSessions.

Deep conversations that matter with are priceless. A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That’s why there are so few good conversations.

Our exclusive series of single-day, live/interactive INSTEADTALKS —each convened live on Zoom and limited to 35 registered participants) are catalysts for personal development, deeper connections, fresh ideas, and a better understanding of ourselves and our world. We bring together a series of deep thinkers ready to share and interact openly. Join us for five (5) 75-minute ConverSessions starting at 8:45 AM EST and ending at 4:30 PM EST, with 15-minute breaks in between. And each ConverSession is founded upon our mantra of LESS presentation and MORE conversation. Click below to grab your seat for INSTEADTALKS —ConverSessions that matter.
