Here's what you'll learn:
Elevating the Conversations Around You
Why “leveling up your circle” can feel isolating
The alternative: changing the conversations, not the people
Three levels of conversation:
Low: gossip, complaints, judgment
Mid: tasks, work, circumstances
High: ideas, growth, change
How to move from reacting to directing conversations
Replacing statements with questions to shift energy
“That sounds frustrating. What do you think would make it better?”
“That’s one way to see it. Have you thought about it like this?”
Leading without ego or judgment
Emotional regulation in conversations
Recognizing when to shift topics entirely
Simple questions that elevate dialogue:
“What’s something you’ve learned lately that surprised you?”
“What are you trying to get better at right now?”
How practicing deeper conversations with others strengthens your inner dialogue
Reflection prompts:
“Where do I default to safety instead of curiosity?”
“What thoughts keep looping in my mind and why?”
Challenge: observe your conversations this week
Notice if they lean high or low on the spectrum
Ask one question that adds depth instead of walking away
