Do Better Work and Boost Your Happiness through Unhurried Conversations / Johnnie Moore / Ep.

In our fast-paced society, we often find ourselves rushing through life.

Whether meeting work deadlines or juggling personal commitments, speed and efficiency seem to rule the day.

Our interactions with others have become transactional, focused on accomplishing tasks rather than building meaningful connections.

Have we lost the art of genuine communication, leaving us feeling pressured and stressed, constantly chasing happiness? Sometimes, it definitely feels so.

So what if we paused for a moment?

What if we took the time to listen to one another without judgment or hidden agendas? Listening not to prove a point but to understand.

Our guest this week, Johnnie Moore, introduces us to the concept of Unhurried Conversations. What started as a simple experiment has grown into a movement.

Johnnie shares the origins of this movement, what it is at its core, and how it can be integrated into our busy lives, even in work settings where busyness often defines success.

Unhurried Conversations act as a magical lubricant in our interactions, making everything flow more smoothly.

I won't spoil the surprise, but if you feel lucky, take a guess about what this magic entails before diving into our conversation.

In a world where change takes time, patience is an essential trait for every service design professional. I really do think that embracing an unhurried mindset can be a simple way to strengthen your patience muscle.

Enjoy and keep making a positive impact :)
