Figure 4.4.3-2: Advanced Conversational Management Model

Early in the conversation, General Conversational Management techniques are used. This is shown from point (1) to point (2) in the diagram. Although the diagram shows only 2 steps (for simplicity), in practice it may be good to follow a series of topics for 5, 10, 20, or 30 minutes, or however long it takes to be firmly established in a Fun, Positive, and Interesting conversation (2).

Then a shift is made towards focusing the conversation even more using Advanced Conversational Management. Now the emphasis is on ways to "Engage the Emotions and Imagination in a Positive Way". This also is followed for a series of steps and a period of time, until it is firmly established that the conversation has engaged the emotions and imagination of the participant. This is shown between points (2) and (3). This too can take any number of steps, only a few of which are shown in the diagram.

4.4.4 Exercises and Assignments D8-T39

Exercises for Advanced Conversational Management

1) Think of some conversations that you have been in recently, and write down the topic for each. These should be conversations where it is already obvious that it is a fun, positive, and interesting conversation. At some particular moment in that conversation, what was the main topic?

Topics

2) Based on each of those topics, consider it a topic that leads to a TTP (copy each above into the "Topic" areas below). For each of those Topics, list 6-8 different ways you could go, things you could comment on, ask about, directions you could "take" the conversation (these are the TTP Options, or Candidate Topics). Write each of those down.

3) Of the 6-8 different TTP Options you have written above for each Topic, which 1 or 2 would tend to "Engage the emotions and imagination in a positive way"? Which ones move things in a way that is best for you?

Select two "candidates" and circle or highlight these two.

4) For each Topic, what would it have been like to have moved the conversation in the direction of the first item you circled? Practice that out loud for each Topic above, maybe by making a comment, asking a question, making a statement, etc., whatever it might take to move things in that direction.

5) Practice again on each by moving things in the direction of the second item that was circled.

Assignments for Advanced Conversational Management

1) For the next week or so, really be aware of the TTP opportunities in your day-to-day life, but be especially aware of wanting to move things to "Engage the emotions and imagination in a positive way". This is best when applied to a conversation that is ALREADY fun, positive, and interesting.

At first, you may have to think of 6-8 options, but the REAL key is to at least get to the point where you can very quickly think of at least 1 or 2 ways to go that "Engage the emotions and imagination in a positive way".

If this is a challenge for you, don't worry, It WILL get easier. Maybe start out by looking at conversation after the fact, thinking "what COULD I have done, where COULD I have taken things".

Do this for a while, until the process of finding 1 or 2 ways to go that "Engage the emotions and imagination in a positive way" in a conversation can happen very rapidly for you.

2) Now that you are able to quickly find 1 or 2 good TTP options for yourself that "Engage the emotions and imagination in a positive way", start to take the conversation there!

Ask a question, make a comment, inquire about something, maybe offer an opinion... whatever it takes. Just do what you can so that the TTP shifts in a direction that can "Engage the emotions and imagination in a positive way".

4.4.5 Summary D8-T46 4.5 MORE ADVANCED CONVERSATIONAL MANAGEMENT D8-T47

4.5.1 More About Getting The Conversation To Go Where You Really Want. D8-T47 As you can see, we are "steering" things more and more in a direction that we wish to go. So, what next?

At some point in the conversation, we want to steer things more towards romantic, fascinating, seductive things, even things with some degree of sensual connotation to them.

So, once again, we focus further on the TTP options!

Strategic Formula for More Advanced Conversational Management

To further direct the conversation into even BETTER areas, steer the conversation towards romantic, fascinating, and seductive things.

4.5.2 Steering Conversations Using More Advanced Conversational Management D8-T49 TTP Mantra (See Figure 4.5.2-1.)

"Where can I go that will get me closer towards romantic, fascinating, seductive things?"

Figure 4.5.2-1: Topic Turning Point Navigation for More Advanced Conversational Management

After using General and Advanced Conversational Management, then the focus shifts again towards directing things in a specific way. The focus now is upon topics that get you closer towards Romantic, Fascinating, Seductive things

Tactical Formula for More Advanced Conversational Management

Keep thinking - "Where can I go that will get me closer towards romantic, fascinating, seductive things?"

Move the conversation in that direction.

Repeat.

This may seem odd or hard to do. However, if you have been in a conversation for a while, and followed the other strategies and tactics shown earlier, you will have taken things in the right direction and this will be much easier.

Moving towards romantic, fascinating, seductive things is much easier after you have first move towards fun, positive and interesting thing, and then topics that engage the emotions and imagination.

4.5.3 The Model With More Advanced Strategy And Tactics In Place D8-T52 We are just closing in, and focusing more and more towards areas and topics that work. This gets her mind into thinking more and more about these things, and associating YOU with them! (See Figure 4.5.3-1.)
