Whether you are negotiating with a teenager or protesting a political decision, learning how to navigate our disagreements is key to getting what we want, supporting each other, and changing the world for the better. We’ll never get ahead by shouting each other down, but sharing stories and experiences, looking for commonalities, and not turning a talk into a competition can be some strategies that ensure our voices also get heard. Disparaging, bullying, and belittling one another won’t change minds, but the strategies Polly Campbell shares in this episode just might. And check out this piece on the Greater Good and the Constructive Dialogue Institute.
