    1. Moving towards the conflict
    2. Asking questions
    3. Keeping quiet

      4. Take a stand on what you will and will NOT put up with and tolerate. People seem to play word semantics and keep trying you because you never SAID that you don't like that.

    I have always had tough conversations whenever needed , it served me well in most cases , but there has been exceptions too where the other person was a bully and he wouldn’t listen to my point of view no matter what but only tried to enforce his opinion . You don’t always succeed but it’s always best to speak your mind .

    The symptoms of not having difficult conversations or having them poorly are real!
    2:50 it could be minor issue.
    but it goes unaddressed
    • frustration sets in
    • communication constricts
    • tensions rise
    • trust evaporates
    • and collaboration is done.

    That was beautiful, really inspiring.
    What he doesnt mention but points at through his examples is 'vulnerability'. A lot of people are scared of laying their cards on the table even though thats exactly what they want to do. Be the first to share and it opens up an opportunity for others. Depending on the situation that is sometimes a challenge for me as well, also because I'm not a very good smalltalker, but I've seen it work for me many times.

    This advice is profound. The ability to do what he suggests was fundamental to my job as a psychiatrist. It condenses my higher education re human behavior and how to deal with its aberrations and why there is no shortcut to achieving change but certainly hope for same if it can be conveyed to the patient as well as oneself

    My brother laughed at me when I said I wanted to take a course in communication or learn something about it. I'm happy to see that some people have studied something related to it on a higher level. I think learning to communicate better is very important for anyone who isn't entirely self relient and isolated (which is very uncommon).

    I have a meeting today where I expect there to be a great deal of conflict between a large group of community leaders on a sensitive subject. I've already been warned that things might go into a very negative direction with the folks in attendance. It's going to be tough today.
    TY for the three reminders to,
    1) Move towards the conflict. Don't run away. I have to step into the conflict, not run away.
    2) Know nothing. Or pretend I don't know. Listen to all sides. Give everyone space to share what's on their minds.
    3) Keep quiet. Don't interfere once the process of collaboration begins.
    And finally - remind everyone that we're in this fight together. No one is an enemy. We're all trying to get to our city's better future.
    TY for the reminders of the steps to handle today's meeting!🙏🙏🙏

    Some people straight do not want to have not only tough conversations, but no conversations at all. They deliberately change the subject or don't say anything at all and are extremely passive. Like someone I know. She would rather use another real estate agent to list her house. Someone from church. I'm her adopted daughter. Or at least I am coming to believe that "family" word was used to get something from me. I am an accomplished horse trainer and if I had charged her for the countless hours I spend training her horses, I'd been thousands richer. Family. I haven't started a talk yet. But I don't how this will go. I'm not actually family to her. Perhaps she doesn't mind me, and we've had fun, but she's listing with someone else, moving to another state and I'll never see her or her family again.

    From my experience the antithesis of dialog is a political debate. The mediator is either biased or encouraging conflict where it doesn't exist. Both sides care more about "owning" the opponent rather than trying to find a common ground. Both sides use cheap dialectics to make their voters feel good for choosing the right side...
    Ugh, can't stand watching those clowns
    There's a special place for the people who try to bring more peace to our very divided world. Sadly sometimes only violence works

    15 minutes of a guy explaining that he's some type of linguistic savior, but he's saying it slowly and has a PhD. This is nothing but typical motivational speaking. Wow, listening is so groundbreaking. Such grand observations in a very controlled setting of inmates that have to behave or they are going back to their cells. Take that security guard out of the equation and that guy wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes.

    Guy doesn't look nearly old enough to have been in Ireland at the times he claims.
    Of course talking is better than a fist fight, war, genocide.
    I bet Ireland cant even remember how their civil war started. I also bet that it goes back to St. Patrick.
    St. Patrick was credited with taking all the snakes out of Ireland. Yet, Ireland is too cold for snakes. No snakes lived in Ireland. So what is he talking about?
    Everyone once worshipped the serpent. So perhaps it was the worship of the serpent that he banished. But did he really? No. He sure didnt.
    Just another religious war gone civil in my opinion.

    • @godmon8
      @godmon8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nothing about his NI story sounds true. But that's about the only part of this comment I can abide, because the rest of it is nonsense. The Irish, Northern Irish, and people identifying as Irish/British in NI remember fairly well about what started the conflict. Of course, exactly what is remembered depends on the side of the argument you're on.
      What it is certainly not about is St. Patrick. St. Patrick's banishing of snakes from Ireland is an allegorical tale, like most religious stories, about banishing heathenism from the island and introducing Christianity. Absolutely nothing to do with anything.
      There are plenty of sources to learn more about the Troubles before making strange comments on the internet.
