The Key to Turning Differences Into Value: Practicing Accuracy | On Connection

When we find ourselves in disagreement with another person, it’s easy to put our energy into winning the argument. How do I get my point across? How do I get them to see it my way? How do I prove that I’m right?

If we treat conversations and conflict like a win-or-lose game, we all lose. If we practice conversational accuracy, we create an opportunity for both sides to learn from the other.

In this episode, Mickey, Robin, and Emma Rose share the essential shift to focus on if you want to turn those differences into an opportunity to build something together. It starts with how you listen, and what you’re listening for.
