WHY CONVERSATIONS GO WRONG & How to Fix Them. Based on Barker's "Improve your Communication Skills"

Conversations are veryr important, but sometimes they just don't work out, causing a lot of confusion and frustration. Figuring out why can be tricky, but there are four big reasons: context, relationship, structure, and behavior. Basically, where and how you talk can totally change how it goes.
Context is all about the situation you're in when you're talking. If you don't get why you're having a chat, things can quickly go off track. Plus, if you're not in the right place or time, it's tough to have a good conversation. And don't forget about assumptions - they can mess things up big time.
Then there's relationships. How you talk to someone depends a lot on how you see them - are they above you, below you, or just a buddy? Power plays a role too. If one person's trying to control everything, it can really ruin the vibe. Roles also matter - if you're talking to a boss, you might act different than if you're talking to a friend.
Finally, there's the structure of the conversation. Knowing what you want to achieve, finding the right time and place, and speaking in a way that makes sense to everyone involved are key. Otherwise, things can get messy real quick.
To have better conversations, you got understand these elements in play. Pay attention to the situation, know your relationship with the person you're talking to, and make sure you're on the same page. Oh, and don't forget to choose the right time and place - it can make all the difference.
