Conversations of all kinds are so important, and learning to have more meaningful conversations is something we all are working on, I believe. This post is one of my features for this weeks WTJR, thank you for sharing with us!

I try to have good communications working with the public, but I feel I fall short sometimes. We use the GIST approach, Greet, Inquire, Suggest, Thank. The book sounds like it has some useful tips for having better communications. I enjoyed reading your views comparing it to some of our everyday situations.

In reply to LisaNotes. I am so sorry to hear about V. Sight is such a gift and one I know taken for granted much of the time. Having a friend like you will certainly help. You are a blessing

In reply to Jean Wise. Thanks for asking about V. I'm sorry to say she's not doing well. :( The surgeries didn't help at all (she ended up having three different ones). Apparently she had a fast-moving glaucoma, and no one knew it in time to catch it early enough. I'm a big advocate now for everyone getting their eye pressure checked when they have their annual eye visit! I'm hoping that V will begin adjusting to being blind, but so far it seems to be beyond her capabilities.

Your experience reminded me of one of my doctors. In the office, she’s brusque and a little cold. But for a procedure, she seems like another person. I haven’t had that conversation with her, of course—I’m not sure it’s possible—but I’ve wondered if she comes alive for the procedures because that’s her favorite part. Maybe V’s doctor is the same? I always appreciate your “stories” in your posts and your book reviews. I hope you’re are doing well!

First of all that book sounds interesting. Second isn’t it amazing you had such an experience with that doctor as you read this book? Wow. I wonder what is going on inside his heart and head and you did see some kindness at the hospital visit. How is V? Did the surgery help?

This truly sums it up well >> “Connecting with other humans through meaningful conversations—whatever type they are—is always worth our efforts.” I want to aim for meaningful conversations with others at all times. They are not only worth our efforts but they make others feel their worth. Lisa, I so appreciate the books you share and your insights!

Sounds like a fabulous book Lisa! We often use similar tools in patient/family conversations at hospice, it makes all the difference!
