Pittsburgh TALK: Irwin
TALK
An evening of moderated conversation, hosted in a private home. ~Ten people, dinner, two hours.
Online, we talk at each other. At TALK, we talk with each other.
The evening
Start 7pm, wrap by 9, out the door by 10 latest. Dinner is shared and vegetarian. Phones off. Off the record, always.
Three simple rules
01 — Listen. It starts here. Really listening, not planning your reply. Being listened to well makes people speak more honestly — which makes the next rule possible.
02 — Tell your story. Say I, not you. The moment it becomes "you know how everyone…" it stops being a story and becomes a theory. Tell the deep version — it's less awkward than you think.
03 — Open doors for others. End your turn with a doorknob: a detail, a loose thread, a question the next person can grab. Your story becomes their doorway in.
