Good one. The gift of bumping elbows and the art of conversation is hard to learn. It's usually something you're either born with or you just don't have it. I put myself in the former category and I try to hone my skills in conversation by listening to books on tape that are authored by great communicators on the subject. Getting points from the pros are what can really make the difference. This is one book: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pocket-Guide-Making-Successful-Small/dp/0967751705/ref=pd_bbs_2/103-7184296-5239035?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181346888&sr=1-2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Pocket-Guide-Making-Success...</a> That I just finished reading and I'm downloading this audio book as we speak: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Conversations-Tools-Talking-Stakes/dp/0071401946/ref=pd_bbs_3/103-7184296-5239035?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181346888&sr=1-3" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Conversations-Tools...</a> The reasoning is that you'll always encounter people who might be in a position of power but they're people of few words. Getting conversation out of them is like getting blood from a stone. At least you have the common sense not to question someone who just finished draining themselves. ;) Hahaha. Good one.
