The Neuroscience of Conversation with Silvia de Ridder

Communication is key to our interactions - professionally as well as personally. Each of us speaks an average of over 10,000 words per day. Just how many make a difference in a positive way? Research shows that that 9 out of 10 conversations miss the mark.

Advances in neuroscience are providing us with information as to what is going on when we communicate. What we now know is that conversations are not just about words but included is a hidden language of trust and that conversations trigger neurochemical reactions that positively or negatively impact on relationships.

The Neuroscience of Conversations gives us insight into:

• • how our brain responds during conversations?
• • how conversations activate the trust or distrust networks in our brain
• • how to understand and architect conversations that create healthy thriving relationships
