This recording forms part of a series of conversations which seek to better understand the value and importance of conversations in practice. A key area of exploration is how 'good' conversations can be the foundation for understanding and human connections that can result in learning and personal development, trust and confidence, motivation to change and, most importantly, better outcomes.

In this conversation between Sarah Leon and Sam Newman, Sam explains the thinking behind The Three Conversations® approach and shares insight into how it fundamentally changes practice and how practitioners experience their work differently as a result. They discuss the personal costs of prioritising our professional selves over bringing our whole selves, the power of storytelling, the importance of listening and focusing on doing what is 'right' and practising in line with your values and ethics.
