60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday: What Might Penguins Teach Us About Conversation? - a podcast by Diane F. Wyzga

Hello to you listening in Weatherford, Texas!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

A man drives into a filling station and asks the attendant to fill the tank with gas. The attendant sees 3 penguins standing on the back seat of the car and tells the man, Hey! You should take those penguins to the zoo. The man says, Good idea! And drives away.

About a week later the same man returns to the filling station and asks the attendant to fill the tank. The attendant sees the same 3 penguins but now they’re wearing sunhats, sunglasses and beach sandals. He says, Hey! I thought I told you to take those penguins to the zoo!  I did, replied the man, And we had such a good time today we’re going to the beach!

Practical Tip: We think we know it all, don’t we? Most of us haven’t heard the half of it when we speak with others. Conversation is a mutual exchange. To have clarity in our conversations let’s begin by asking ourselves:

What did they say?

What did I hear?

Was it the same, or different?
