Convers(ate) has three grounding principles...be present, be curious and be respectful.\\xa0

In this conversation, we talk about getting uncomfortable. Especially in the political season of 2020.\\xa0


How do we navigate challenging discussions with families and friends? How do we show up in a place of curiosity and growth? How do we move forward with those who have political views that don't align with ours?\\xa0 What values are at the core of our differences? How do we find common ground?

Bottom line...we talk about the importance of trying first to understand..then be understood " Let's listen and learn before we pitch and persuade..." This episode is about the\\xa0 power of courageous conversations in our lives.\\xa0
