    • The Power of Acknowledgment and Agreement in ConversationsEffective communication involves acknowledging and agreeing with others' perspectives to build a respectful and productive dialogue

      Key takeaway from this discussion with Kate Cocker is the power of acknowledgment and agreement in conversations and relationships. During her podcast with Joe Rogan and Jonathan Haidt, Kate noticed how effective it was when Jonathan responded with "that's right" to Joe's points, even when they disagreed. This simple phrase not only shows active listening but also invites further conversation and builds a comfortable and respectful dialogue. By acknowledging someone's perspective, we can create a more harmonious and productive conversation. So, the next time you find yourself in a disagreement, try using "that's right" to show understanding and respect for the other person's viewpoint. It may lead to a more meaningful and productive conversation.

    A Holiday Survival Guide for Difficult Conversations | Bill Doherty
    What to do if you find yourself marooned at your Thanksgiving meal, facing a voluble uncle who is spewing political ideas you find abominable? Our guest today is overstuffed (see what I did there?) with practical ideas. I first met Bill Doherty several years ago, when I was doing a story for Nightline about a group called Braver Angels. The group was formed in the aftermath of the 2016 election, with the idea of bringing reds and blues together to create some mutual understanding and trust. As I watched the man moderating these seemingly incredibly successful discussions (ie no shouting, no rote recitations of slogans), I was really impressed. I later learned that he was both a marriage counselor and a meditator. So I invited him to come on the show. In this conversation, we discuss: why trying to change people’s minds or get them to abandon their core values is unlikely to be a winning strategy; the value of sticking with so-called “I” statements; and how to reach what he calls “accurate disagreement.” Please note: this interview was recorded before most of the tumultuous events of 2020, but it remains immovably relevant.  Where to find Bill Doherty online:  Website: https://braverangels.org Website: https://dohertyrelationshipinstitute.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/billdoherty Full Show Notes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/bill-doherty-301 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    UFYB 118: Empathy & Other People’s Models
