conversations

Conversations
I aim to achieve something with a conversation, a.k.a. for me a discussion. In order to do this, I often take notes. This can put some people off but I value their time and input and want to be able to continue later without repeating material that has already been agreed.
Rather than sitting at opposite sides (180) of a table, I find that sitting across a corner (90) or on the same side (0) is a more friendly style, and we can both see, at the same time, the paper or screen that we are working with.
It is also useful to have a clock (timepiece) in clear sight so that I can manage and limit the time that I talk - which is often too long but can be due to looking for feedback from the audience.

NTs waste words i.m.h.o. and say stuff that is like herding sheep.
