    Very nice work Celes.

  2. Hi Celes,

    I really love this! I used to do social skills training with a client and we use to spend a lot of time talking about the subtleties of having great conversation skills. Once we read a whole book about it together! I really wish we had had something simple like this to look at. I will definitely keep this in mind if I run into her again or anyone else I think can benefit. Extremely useful! :)

  3. These are rules for formal conversations.

    For regular conversations, just go with the flow. No need over-thinking things.

      Some people do need help with regular conversations actually; at least there are regularly readers approach me for help on how to create great conversations (or even make conversation at all). I hope that these “rules” or rather, tips, will help them.
