The Art of Conscious Conversations with Chuck Wisner
Episode Description:
What if the key to improving your relationships, teams, and leadership was simply learning how to have better conversations? In this episode of Linda’s Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, we explore The Art of Conscious Conversations with Chuck Wisner—author, thinker, coach, and advisor to leaders at companies like Google, Apple, Tesla, Rivian, and more.
Chuck has spent over three decades helping individuals and organizations unlock the power of language and human dynamics. After witnessing the transformative impact of intentional dialogue, he wrote The Art of Conscious Conversations—a practical guide to understanding why conversations work, why they don’t, and how to navigate them more effectively both at work and at home.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- The 4 hidden elements behind every opinion or judgment:
- Desires and goals
- Concerns about the future
- Authority and power dynamics
- Standards of right/wrong or good/bad (often inherited unconsciously)
- Desires and goals
- How to prepare for conversations by reflecting on these four areas to become more self-aware and empathetic
- The role of ego in clouding our judgment and how it affects how we listen
- The 4 types of conversations and why we often skip the most crucial ones:
- Storytelling
- Collaborative
- Creative
- Decision-making/Commitments
- Storytelling
- What “conversational bypass” means and how it blocks creativity and true connection
- Why we need to slow down, ask questions, and listen deeply to create space for collaboration and learning
- How to recognize your own conversational patterns and rewire your brain with intentional practice over time
Powerful Insight from Chuck Wisner:
“We love telling our stories. And we love taking action. But we often skip the middle two steps—collaboration and creativity—where true connection and possibility live.”
Whether you're navigating tough talks at work or strengthening communication at home, this episode will help you break free from default patterns and begin building conversations that are conscious, collaborative, and truly transformative.
