While this should appear to be the simplest of equations, it often isn’t. How many conversations have you ever been in where you were on the receiving end of the “chatter?” You walk away from that conversation asking yourself how you can avoid that person in the future; that person walks away thinking they had a great conversation but later realizes they learnt nothing new about you.
We are our own most important people in our own lives, not someone else’s.
Yes it is ok to get some thoughts of your chest, yes it is ok to be that “chatter” because everything has an appropriate time and place. Take my home life for example – I chat my wife’s ear off when I get home – this is because while at work – I have to listen to other people all day.
Take that for an example – you don’t care what I do at home or at work – you frankly only care about how you will better yourself.

If you actually follow those five steps – you will walk away from a conversation knowing more then you did. You will walk away from a conversation with the other person feeling important. When you follow up with this person and you engage them with previous conversation information – they will feel special.
What do you want out of life, just to feel special right?
When you are working, it is not about you – it is about them!
