Introverts aren’t known for having outstanding communication skills. But it turns out that there is an introvert advantage when it comes to conversation.
I have been reading a lot of articles about effective communication lately. Advice on the topic varies, but there are a few constants. All of the articles stressed the importance of listening, speaking slowly and making eye contact. Being a great storyteller was not mentioned. Neither was charisma or wittiness. These qualities are attractive, but not necessary for great conversation.
