In this episode, we’re talking about making room for conversation and I’m using a cup metaphor to illustrate some important points.
As humans, we all have a mental and emotional cup. And like a cup of tea or a cup of coffee, if it’s completely full, there is no room for anything else. Literally.
This cup metaphor applies to communication and conversation as well. If you are attempting to converse with someone and their cup is full, there’s not room for a new conversation with you. You’ve probably been in conversations where this is the case. And if you have, you find that you’re talking to someone who isn’t very engaged.
So when this happens, the only way to engage and create real dialogue is by helping the other person make room for the conversation. Find out how in the video below!

We all have a mental and emotional cup we carry. We can’t have a conversation when the cup is full. We are better conversationalists, when we help people making room in their cup first. @KevinEikenberry
