Conversation practice planner

Original Good Next Move worksheet. Version 1.0.0.

Instructions

  1. Choose one everyday situation and one skill, such as asking a follow-up question.
  2. Write an adaptable prompt and choose private rehearsal or willing live participation. Do not record another person without their agreement.
  3. Repeat the exercise and reflect on what you can adjust; another person’s response is outside your control.

Original worked example

Original example: at a hobby group, “What got you interested in this?” is followed by “What do you enjoy about that part?” The reader rehearses aloud, tries it when participation is welcome, and records whether they listened before adding another question.
