3. Conversation Quotation:
Better Conversation Week Nov. 23-29
I have designated Thanksgiving Week as "Better Conversation Week" in Chase's Calendar of Holidays and Events.More than any other holiday of the year, Thanksgiving is the time that families and friends usually get together for a special feast and quality time together.
To enrich the experience of the conversation, I've created and revised the "Better Family Conversation Kit" with 200 conversation starter items in 6 categories plus a variety of bonus processes that can be used in only a few minutes by pairs and small groups.
In the next issue I'll announce the newly revised and improved kit that you can get on my website.
