Episode 24: How to Disagree and Stay Connected Not Your Typical Leadership Coaching Podcast
-
- Management
In this podcast episode, hosts Marty and Bill discuss the challenge of connecting with individuals with whom one deeply disagrees. They touch on political polarization, personal capacity for understanding, and strategies for improving communication across divides. Through examples like the COVID-19 pandemic and biblical interpretation, they illustrate the significance of listening and empathy in maintaining connections. The conversation also covers the roles of leadership and coaching in facilitating understanding and compromise.
For more about Michael Singer, I recommend reading his books, which include:
• The Untethered Soul
• The Surrender Experiment
• Living Untethered
