Episode 26: Stop Trying to Win Arguments: What Great Communicators Do Instead

from SpeakWell Studio Podcast Hosted by Stephanie Medden

We often think effective communication is about making the strongest argument, but what if the real goal isn't winning at all? In this episode of SpeakWell Studio, Dr. Stephanie Medden explores how communication research can help us navigate disagreements more effectively. Learn the difference between task goals and relational goals, discover how confirmation bias shapes difficult conversations, and walk away with a practical three-question strategy to help you move from proving your point to making meaningful progress—at work, at home, and everywhere in between.
