In this episode, our focus is the S in our RISE system, social connections. We discuss how to navigate a disagreement with compassion. We again refer to the work of Byron Katie, her website thework.com provides resources for a deeper understanding of her questioning process. We offer a tool we call "the 3 C's" as a guide for having difficult conversations while keeping relationships intact. The first C is to be curious by loosening your thought patterns using the questioning and turnaround techniques. The second C is for connection, seek to find common ground and state it intentionally in your conversation. The final C is for countering. This involves finding your voice by creating space in the conversation through using a permission question such as, "Can I tell you something I am thinking?", or "Can I tell you something I notice?" and following with an I statement such as, "I worry about... or I fear...or I believe...".
