Start with your "Why"

Understanding your motivation and purpose in a conversation creates clarity and direction.

Adapt To Communication Styles

By recognising behavioural differences and personality traits, you can reduce conflict and improve connection.

Shift From Miscommunication to Understanding

Effective conversations are built on empathy, intention, and respect, leading to better outcomes for all.

The Science Of Conversations: Finding Clarity and Connection

With nine potential chances of miscommunication in any exchange, it’s no wonder that conflict often arises. 

In this engaging session, Gordon McNaught draws on over three decades of experience to unpack the core elements of meaningful conversation. He’ll explore the importance of understanding your “Why?”, recognising different communication behaviours, and adapting to varied personality styles. 

Through real-world insights and practical tools, Gordon will demonstrate how better communication can lead to more positive, productive, and respectful outcomes—whether in professional practice or personal life.
