How to Disagree with Someone (without being a jerk)

from The Work of Being Human · host Vanessa Bentley

This was one of those episodes I simply had to do. I was ready to record part 2 of last weeks episode (“Why Am I So Hard on Myself?”), but based on my own experience and what I’m hearing from you all, I had to pivot. This week, we tackle what to do when we’re offended, when we disagree. We look at the escalation stages of conflict and how to diffuse it at the most essential stage. We are going to become skilled communicators, in search of truth and reason, able to navigate disagreement without putting our relationships in jeopardy. These are skills everyone simply must have. (And we even dabble a bit into Socrates!)Send me an email. I’d love to hear from you! [email protected] (not .com)
