How can we be a better conversationalist？The key is to be an attention-giver rather than an attention-getter.? ? ? 1? ? . Here are some ways to help you.

Use Peoples Names More

We are more likely to be in tune with others when they say our name.? ? ? 2? ? . In conversation， you can use this to your advantage by asking for their name， and then dropping their name occasionally throughout the conversation later on.
