Rediscovering The Art Of Conversation With Sandi McKenna

Sandi McKenna is a powerhouse and has an amazing story to tell, up through her travels on her travel show - MidLife Road Trip to becoming a Private Investigator during the pandemic.Now she has added podcast host and is launching "Unforgettable Conversations" this week.Sandi and I talk about her journey and then we get down to how conversation has become a lost art and how to go about rediscovering that ability and how important it really is.Some of the things we talk about include:1.  You have to nurture a natural curiosity throughout life.2.  If you have fear of traveling, you have to let FOMO help you push past those fears3.  Traveling to an actual place far outweighs seeing it in a magazine or on screen.4.  When traveling, take the ON-Off bus in order to get a great travel impact. It’s like a sampler platter.5.  Work hard to be a good listener. It will change every interaction.6.  In order to build the art of conversations in our children, we need to implement the dinner table interactions. Use the time to tell relatable stories.7. When engaging in conversation, find a common thread. There is usually always one there.8. Not only do you learn about others in conversation, you learn a lot about yourself.9. Don’t ever limit yourself.10. You can’t expect perfection of yourself or of anyone else around you.The link to Sandi's podcast on Apple is: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unforgettable-conversations/id1591849562You can find her on Instagram at: http://www.instagram.com/sandimckennaAs promised here are the other links I discussed:Link to my Private The New Old You Podcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thenewoldyou/My website: https://llmcshane.comMy Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/lesleylmcshaneLink to my Imposter Syndrome Handout/Worksheet: https://www.subscribepage.com/10-ways-to-disrupt-imposter-syndromeLink to the Friday Night BeeerBlog on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/friday-night-beerblog/id1577416179Thank you for listening and reading!
