What is Pull Conversation?
Pull Conversation is a way of communicating that quickly uncovers the business realities of all parties involved and enables decisions that produce better results and relationships. It’s a skill building program that focuses on ‘understanding others’ reality’, skillfully, having them ‘understand your reality’, and then finding ‘the bigger reality’. We define the ‘bigger reality’ as the uncommon and/or surprising solutions for significant opportunities or challenges. Those who use Pull Conversation skill sets are likely to make more productive decisions, experience fewer misunderstandings and earn greater levels of trust.
Pull Conversation is a stand-alone program but can also be strategically used as the ‘graduate’ level program for our Influence (formerly Tu Casa Mi Casa) program. It can be used to brings skills gained in our Influence program to application using your company specific issues. It demonstrates how tackling issues by bringing tremendous emphasis to the other party's frame of reference, can address significant business opportunities and challenges.

It is often used to find ‘a better way forward’ that works for both parties while significantly increasing two-way understanding. This process has proven successful, both with key business partners and with external customers.
