A BIT OF OF OPTIMISM

Here is a great podcast episode that crossed my path and I wanted to share it with you. It’s entitled Resolving Conflict with William Ury.

There are so many great takeaways. One that I especially liked was Stop, Listen, Think, then Respond. It was nice to hear that said by two such renowned thinkers, I’ve been promoting that very communication cycle for years in my writing and workshops.

Another wonderful takeaway was that conflict resolution is not about ending conflict, it’s about transforming the approach into one of seeking constructive rather than destructive interactions. And this is made possible by someone being able and willing to risk offering something better for the other side to respond to.

This is really wonderful stuff, kudos to both Simon Sinek and William Ury.

Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
