What it's about
It can be so heart-breaking to disagree with the people we care about most.
And over time, lack of true understanding creates distance, mistrust of each other's intentions, stuckness in our reactions, and quiet resignation in the relationships that matter most to us.
This Lifeshop by Michael Ventura is about learning how to disagree without being disagreeable.
Through guided exercises and frameworks, we will learn the art of perspective taking: understanding each other without needing to agree, resisting the urge to win, addressing the elephants in the room, and getting to the heart of the matter while staying connected.
Tough to pull off in tough times... so let's learn how, and practice together.
