What gets in the way of understanding each other? When we often talk about strategies and ideas it quickly devolves into a debate about "right and wrong" rather than a sharing of ideas. This is true whether it's about politics or where to go for dinner. In this podcast I talk about the importance of identifying what is an absolute (capital T) Truth and what is a personal (lowercase "t") truth. The better we are at owning what is our own personal truth (Peppermint ice cream is my favorite) rather than trying to make them absolute Truths (Peppermint ice cream is the only kind of ice cream worth eating), the easier it is to both share our perspective and influence others. This episode discusses vulnerability, clarity and owning your own truth, which can lead to better communication and greater collaboration.
