TJ asks Tero for tips on enhancing his conversational style.

Most of us communicate without consciousness to our style. TJs question suggests he has taken the first step of becoming aware.

Next, observe your conversations, not just for what is said, but how. Do you listen? Do you ask questions? Do you talk too much? To you talk too little?

If you feel cut off, try leaving smaller gaps between ideas or continuing to talk when you are interrupted.
