SmileyAudioMedia chief Tavis Smiley, owner of KBLA, Los Angeles, is presenting six courses under the umbrella of The Art of Conversation. Smiley says that over the span of his 40-year career he’s had thousands
of conversations with world leaders, artists, activists and others who shape our world and “somewhere along the way I’ve realized that the art of conversation is dying.” Because of this he’s creating practical courses in the “art of conversation.” He adds, “I’m going to teach what the past 40 years have taught me: how to have conversations that matter… conversation is a skill and like any skill, it can be taught.” The titles of the six course are: The Anatomy of a Great Conversation, How to Know More Than Your Interlocutor Thinks You Do, Generous Listening as a Superpower, Handling Difficult Conversations and Conflicts, Creating Memorable Moments, and Why Conversation Matters in Democracy.
