Dr. Pearson shares some powerful information about her civility workshop and how it is opening minds and hearts. It is not about changing minds, but understanding minds and from there all things are possible. Information on how to sign up for this zoom class is included.
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
The Civility Workshop has been going great.
The goal of this workshop is not to change people’s minds, even though that sometimes happens, but rather to understand mindsets.
Have you ever won an argument?
The fact is we don’t generally win arguments.
The workshops are two hours long
Offered the second Tuesday of every month from 4 to 6 PM PST free of charge
If you would like to join, just call the office and they will get your email at 509-927-8997 or you can email Dr. Pearson at [email protected] in the subject line put “Zoom Civility Workshop”
The value is you get to say everything that is on your mind and in your heart and you will not have to fear being challenged
It’s really about accepting and honoring; not finding the truth only your own personal truth.
You really get to hear yourself speak and sometimes you find that you no longer feel the same way
In that, you begin to change, but the changes are little by little
Dr. Pearson tells us about a gentleman that really struggled with listening to someone else tell their different thoughts
He really had to tell himself to stop and actually listen, be curious and listen to the story
Towards the end, it did get a lot easier
Dr. Pearson is reading a great book right now called “The Way Out How to overcome Toxic Polarization” by Peter T. Coleman
We are a product of the thoughts and biases we feed
So this week try to listen and look at things a little different don’t try to change someone else or knock them down because they think differently
Dr. Pearson tells us about two women who talk about a subject from two different perspectives
While the two women felt differently about the subject they both realized there were things they never thought about before
When they were done they both thanked each other
They didn’t change each other's perspectives, but gave each other a little insight and a little more understanding of how someone could feel the way they did
