Today, I will hit a recurring theme on the Change Well podcast– the importance of civility, kindness, and active listening on wellness. I don’t want to sound too hyperbolic, but I believe these traits are critical to the soul of this great nation. The only way to continue to grow is to listen with an open mind to the things you don’t know about yourself and others. It would be best if you seized on the commonalities to convince yourself to do so and not discount what someone different says, discern the reasons for the differences, and diplomatically discuss. Is this naïve? Maybe. Is it always doable? No. But you have to try to improve your wellness and that of others.

How do you disagree without being disagreeable and listen without losing yourself and your moral rudder? Sometimes, you must stand your ground, but knowing when and how is critical. It is not a science but an art and is the essence of being human.

To understand how to be diplomatic when you disagree, we examine real-life examples of people who model this behavior and the lessons they teach. #civility #election2024 #wellnesspodcast #wellness
