How to listen when you disagree

Juliana Tafur is an award-winning trilingual filmmaker, producer and director. She owns Orkidea Films and Story Powerhouse, which are devoted to the development and execution of compelling TV and film projects, including LIST(e)N - a feature length documentary which highlights our common humanity amidst the growing polarization in the U.S.A  During this discussion Juliana and I explore that listening is the willingness to have your mind changed.  Juliana's 90 minute documentary Listen, where two people with different perspectives on abortion, guns and immigration are brought together to listen to each other.   Listen carefully as Juliana describes in very careful and thoughtful detail how people show up when they are willing to listen and when they are not.  Do you think you interrupt a lot when you listen, most people don't think they interrupt – yet speakers say it's the most frustrating thing about listeners – listen carefully when Juliana describes what interrupting shows up in listening.  Finally, great listening environments can be defined – Juliana skilfully and elegantly creates an environment where people can be open to listening  Listen for Free
