Let's be honest. We have to listen to people on a DAILY basis who we vehemently disagree with or who frankly, we think are idiots.
It's normal to have opinions.
It's not normal to be unable to have a conversation with someone who views an issue differently than you.
Here are some tips for how to:
- LISTEN when you disagree or have a strong judgment
- control your impulse to "shut down" in conversations you don't like
- build deeper relationships with clients, spouses, friends, children
