Acumen Presents: Krista Tippett on the Art of Conversation (Udemy.com)

This course was interesting and informative in many ways. It was good in terms of discussing philosophical ideas and global views. It was not as helpful for use in a business sense, for conversations involved in presenting new product development, group collaboration, etc.

It's all very good, I would just like to see a little more depth in the selected themes.

Love KT!

I found that what I had hope to get out of this course never really happened. i was looking for some very practical Ideas about how to engage those around me in conversations that would be meaningful--
It was too lofty. Too wordy. I became disinterested much too quickly. I chose the course cause I liked Krista's On Being on Public radio. I did not finish the course.

I enjoyed this course only when I offered my full attention and patience as Krista's subtle messages and lessons need a sincere mindset of the student. It is NOT the kind of skilling up courses that need technical abilities and one can complete in a limited duration. I am referring re-listening back to Krista's lessons whenever I feel the need.

the course did not turn out to be relevant. off topic. disappointing and sheer waste of time.

Good and informative

I am an avid fan of Krista Tippet. She invites us with a warm welcome and calm presence where her "and/both" perspective soon flows into practical ways to bridge; and then make a difference in both one on one relationships and social change movements. Like her, I believe everyone can become conversationally competent and civil. My observation is that there are so many facets in the diamond of better dialogue that a "conversation canvas" would be a useful preview and review of this essential course. For example, her best advice and lessons learned make common sense if you image placemat at your dinner table divided into four equal sections; 1) Vocabulary - what do the words you use mean? 2) Opinions - listening begins with your presence and undivided attention to people's voice, feelings and emotions. 3) Facts - It is what it is; what is the context and content that proves or verifies your claim? 4) Decisions, who has a voice, a vote, and when about what should we do as a family, community, business or government? By listening with respect, the canvas can do miracles. Everyone at the table has an opportunity to understand and be understood. Thanks to Krista Tippet, we can move beyond debates in gridlock and conversations in caves. I recommend her and this course without reservations. I suggest you approach her Art of Conversation course with a sense of awe and wonder. Be prepared for delight!

I HAVE LEARNT TO BE PRESENT DURING CONVERSATIONS

Needed day to day examples and a bit more in depth.

Had many practical implications for both professional and personal life.

It helped to reexamine how I initiate and lead my conversation
