A rewarding conversation functions like a choreographed dance where both partners contribute skillfully through timing, respect, and mutuality. Conversation differs from an interview, lecture, or monologue because it is a dialogue involving exchange of ideas and opinions. Shy or inhibited people need practice sharing personal opinions to avoid conversational failure. Both talking too much and talking too little can cause conversations to fail. Skill development requires full engagement, attention to nonverbal cues, and knowing when to interject based on whether the other person is involved. Practice also depends on observing whether the conversation flows well or stalls and needs repair.
