When you think, if you ask me to make a list of the mistakes that people make in conversation, I would go on and on.

We choose the wrong topics.

We forget to raise the topics that we should talk about.

We don't ask enough questions.

We ask too many questions.

We talk too much about ourselves.

We don't focus enough on the other person.

We brag.

We humble brag.

We give backhanded compliments.

We do all of these things.

The laundry list is so long, it feels almost insurmountable.

And in my mind, I'm like, wait, but people can't keep all of those things in their heads all the time.

What they really need is a simple framework that

that can help them wrap their arms around this vast ocean of complexity that is in every conversation.

And when you look under the hood of every conversation, you start to realize how complex it really is.

Becoming a better communicator is going to help you gain and maintain higher status.
