How does brain science connect with communication and relationship building? And how does that intersect with empathy? Utilizing brain science has the potential to shift conversations and dynamics around race, diversity, empathy, and healing.

Eric Bailey joins Erica for a discussion of how brain science influences our relationships, our imperfect allyship, and how both are ongoing processes.

In this discussion:

• Conversational principles for when you don’t agree
• The brain science of defensiveness and why we can’t learn until we calm down
• How the illusion of certainty thwarts allyship
• Two questions to engage in discussion with radical curiosity
