    and talk
    Question # 1
    How does walk and talk
    help people to talk?
    Some people feel that it is difficult for them to talk, think or feel,
    while sitting still. They need to move their bodies
    and feel that talking comes easier while walking.

    Some people find it too intense to be closely looked at or find it
    hard making eye contact. Looking forward, for example on to
    the nature path or at trees, rather than looking directly at
    another person can help people open up.

    Many may sit all day in front of their computers or in
    offices and find it motivating to get outside and talk
    rather than sitting in a room.

    wander.

    walking. Our mind is at its most creative at 5 kilometers per hour,
    the speed of a moderately paced stroll.

    Whenever you’re deeply involved with a problem, take a thought
    walk, for example around your neighbourhood, a shopping mall, a
    park, a forest etc.

    Look for objects, situations, or events that are


    interesting or that can be metaphorically compared
    with whatever you are working on.

    Question # 5
    How can walk and talk
    help people to solve conflicts?
    Walking can allow partners to acquire the cognitive, affective,
    and behavioral advantages of synchronous movement
    such as increased positive rapport, empathy, and pro-sociality.

    Walking partners naturally adopt cooperative postural


    stances and experience shared attention.
