What keeps a conversation going?
Connected Comments
A connected comment is a response that links back to what the other person just said. This shows you were listening and keeps the conversation going.
Conversation Stoplight
The Conversation Stoplight is a way to help you know when to talk and when to listen. Green means it’s your turn to share, yellow means pause and think about what to say or check if others are ready, and red means it’s someone else’s turn, so you listen.
