Best selling author, consultant and expert in the art of impactful conversation Fred Dust is a former global managing director of legendary design firm Ideo.
Fred's passion is showing how to design intentional conversations and have meetings that are creative, inspiring and impactful.
In his creative practice, Fred began to approach conversations differently after years of trying to broker challenging communications between colleagues and clients.
He came to believe there had to be a way to design the art of conversation itself with intention and purpose, but still retaining creativity, fun and playfulness.
He wrote his book ‘Making Conversation’ to codify what he learned and convey the four elements essential to successful exchanges, commitment, creative listening, clarity, and context.
Jane and Fred talk about their shared history, the challenge of working at board level in a global design agency, and why conversations have to be so carefully constructed in creative settings. They also look at the impact of language in the political as well as business arena, and finally, how to bring the art of connection into everyday conversations.
How do you keep intention and purpose, but still retain creativity and playfulness in your business conversations?
