Listen to the audio version of this interview.

Chuck has spent twenty-five years as a trusted advisor to senior leaders and their teams in high-profile companies across industries, including Google, Ford, DTE Energy, and Tesla (Harvard Business School, Toyota, General Motors, and Chrysler Motor Company.

The seeds of his book, The Art of Conscious Conversations, evolved from his intellectual curiosity about human interactions, and his studies in the ontology of language, organizational strategy, and leadership communication.

In today’s episode James and Chuck focus on his new book The Art of Conscious Conversations: Transforming How We Talk, Listen, and Interact  which gives you practical tools for navigating any conversation humbly, compassionately, and effectively for better conversations and better relationships. 

The Art of Conscious Conversations outlines four fundamental and distinct types of conversations:
The Storytelling Conversation: Your Stories Are Not the Truth. Storytelling conversations consist of the stories we believe and tell ourselves and others. They define us in many ways and determine how we show up in the world. This part explores the hidden wisdom of our unspoken narratives and the complex, confounding relationships among our emotions, facts, and opinions.

The Collaborative Conversation: Seek to Understand and Absorb Other Perspectives.
In this conversation, our individual stories intermingle with others’ stories, surfacing divergent perspectives. In the collaborative conversation, we learn how to absorb opposing positions, change our own perceptions, lower our defenses, and transform our listening. We work with advocacy and inquiry to improve our conversational skills and to get smart with others.

The Creative Conversation: Trust Your Intuition.
The creative conversation opens our minds and hearts to new insights. Through it, we explore the integration of the rational left hemisphere and the creative right hemisphere of our brains. The practices include learning to listen to our intuitions, to generate new ideas, and to value synchronicity with others. More present and open-minded, we’re better prepared to see, hear, and act on opportunities that cross our path.

The Commitment Conversation: Don’t Make Promises You Can’t Keep
Commitment conversations are where the action is. Every day, we exchange inconsequential and weighty promises with others. From doing the dishes to signing a major contract, the promises we make to one another are the foundation of our coordination with others. Our agreements determine who does what, when, how, where, and why. They are how we get things done.

The four conversations are distinct but also complementary. We can experience all four types in a flash, or we may need to focus on one more than another. Together they provide an endless supply of material to work with. Each one offers its own set of different, yet, complementary insights, building a road map for comprehending and changing how and why we communicate—whether it be with family, friends, colleagues, bosses, or strangers—
