discussion etiquette

Many of us enter into a dialogue or discussion that only comes out of it by screaming, and if he is safe from that, he comes out of it with a little tension. The goal of the dialogue is cooperation and reaching an agreed result regarding a problem that has been disputed, the most important thing in the discussion is the ability to listen more than it... of the ability to speak.

Here are some tips to avoid falling into the discussion mistakes we face:

• One of the most important mistakes when the discussion takes place is that one of the parties closes his hearing about the other person and is alone in speaking: We must first believe in the idea that the discussion is a process of giving and taking and exchanging opinions, and we have no right to be alone in expressing our opinion.
• Show your interest in the words of the other: do not appear as if you are waiting for him to finish his role in the conversation or as if you are hesitating in your mind the words you will say, you will send this to the other party without feeling loads of tension that may spoil the discussion.
• If you come across a phrase that you did not understand the meaning of, it is not wrong to ask him about it, in order to avoid interpretation and misunderstanding.
• In the event that there are several people in this conversation, it is not permissible to address only one person or exclude one person, you must include everyone in what you are talking about.
• Not to mix and diversify using languages: this weakens the quality of the topic you are talking about, especially if the other person does not understand the language you use.

• Leave enough time for the other person to understand and respond. Do not be enthusiastic and do not demand a quick response.
• When we present an idea that belongs to us, we often get excited and without realizing it, our words become fast, and this is not good in the etiquette of dialogue and gives a feeling of boredom to those around us and the failure to communicate our idea correctly, so we have to pay attention to the time between our words.
• In the event that a question is directed to us, we should pay attention not to respond quickly as well and take 3-5 seconds and then reply to show your interest in hearing the question directed to you and understanding it well.
• We should not have the last word or add to it: for example, if a person shares information with us, we must listen to him and highlight his abilities, not to highlight what we are doing, such as saying and I do likewise or I know this...
• Don't forget that a good speaker is always a good listener
