The Conversational Superskills Diagnostic Questionnaire

The ability to have effective conversations is perhaps the most important skill in your toolkit. But lots of us just don’t feel confident or skilled enough to have effective conversations, ‘especially ones that are more challenging.

It sounds simple but having a meaningful and effective conversation can be a bit of a minefield. Ego, emotions, listening skills, and what we say (or don’t say) all play a part in how we’re perceived, both at work and at home.

By improving your conversational skills you can improve your impact. Great conversational skills strengthens relationships, heightens engagement, boosts team performance, builds a culture rich in feedback and inclusivity, and sparks transformative change.
