To have a conversation, you have to be comfortable being human —acknowledging you don’t have all the answers, being eager to learn from someone else and to build new ideas together. 

You can only have a conversation if you’re not afraid to be wrong. Otherwise, you’re not conversing, you’re just declaiming, speechifying, or reading what’s on the PowerPoints. To converse, you have to be willing to be wrong in front of another person.
