Your whole day is an attempt to convince someone. All of that influence happens inside conversations, and almost nobody looks at the conversation itself. This keynote makes the room look.

Listen First
Everyone believes they already listen well. It is the only skill nobody thinks they need to train. And while the other person talks, the answer is already being drafted.
The Art of Prompting
Anyone who uses AI has rewritten the same request three times until the machine understood. With people, nobody rewrites. The skill is the same.
The best talk I have seen here. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing so much wisdom.
