Are your conversations actually just hidden business transactions?

Khaya Dlanga: What gets lost when we treat conversations like transactions · 15:40 · Video: TED · Watch at the source

In short: In this TED talk, author Khaya Dlanga examines the cost of approaching dialogue with a hidden agenda. He explores how moving away from strategic communication allows for genuine human connection.

Khaya Dlanga argues that the most impactful stories are those shared solely to foster connection. When we approach interactions as transactions, we lose the ability to truly see one another. Through a blend of moving memories and humorous anecdotes, the presentation highlights the value of conversations held without a specific strategy or underlying motive.
