(call or text 307-240-9190 to let Chris know your thoughts!)

Liam defends the position: In this day and age, a college degree is obsolete.

Ten Takeaway Tips:

1. Keep your explanations brief.

2. Challenge the foundational definition.

3. Don’t be afraid to flip an assumed advantage on its head.

4. Re-frame and re-ask your question when your opponent doesn’t see what you are getting at.

5. Agree with a goal, but challenge the way to get there.

6. Propose new solutions when you reject a tradition.

7. Point out that your opponent’s counter-proposal still allows your proposal to be valid.

8. Summarize your opponent’s position generously.

9. Point out where, specifically, you believe your opponent’s position falls short.

10. Call out a false dichotomy when you see one.
