(DVD)

Lecturer: Anne Curzan, University of Michigan.

How do you make conversation with someone you have just met? When is communicating by email ill-advised? How do you say "no" without using that dreaded word? Regardless of age or occupation, conversation can be tricky. And like it or not, it's one of the most important things you do on a daily basis. Successful conversations help you advance professionally and make, maintain, and deepen relationships. Moreover, research shows that talking, when done on a substantive level, is correlated with a feeling of happiness and general well-being.
