Productive Conversations | A Corentus Team Tool On Demand

Productive Conversations is a tool for enhancing communication effectiveness between individuals and within teams. It emphasizes understanding different communication patterns and their impact, aiming to equip individuals and teams with skills for constructive expression and response. The tool introduces the concept of "productive conversations" as clear, engaging, and connected exchanges grounded in facts and purpose. It explores the neuroscience behind effective communication, including prediction, energy efficiency, learned emotions, and synced systems in the brain. Furthermore, the tool differentiates between "hot" (reactive) and "clear" (intentional) thinking systems and offers techniques like pausing and reframing to promote the latter. It also addresses common barriers to clarity, such as noise (ambiguity, redundancy, contradiction) and non-factual language, and presents tools like "I" statements and ACE (Attention, Curiosity, Engagement) listening to foster better understanding and connection.

The approximate completion time is 2 hours.
