The Executive Perspective with Neal Reyes

The Lost Art of Healthy Disagreement


Listen Later

We’re living in a time where disagreement is often mistaken for disrespect—and that’s a problem. In this compelling episode, Neal Reyes reclaims the lost art of healthy disagreement and shows how to hold your ground without losing your relationships. Disagreement doesn’t have to mean division. In fact, when handled well, it can lead to deeper understanding, stronger trust, and elevated leadership.

Whether you’re navigating tensions in your marriage, your workplace, or your friendships, this episode arms you with tools for preserving connection even in the face of conflict. It’s not about avoiding hard conversations—it’s about approaching them with maturity, self-control, and wisdom.

🔥 You’ll learn how to:

  • Challenge someone’s ideas without attacking their identity
  • Disagree respectfully without letting emotions hijack the moment
  • Turn conflict into clarity instead of conquest
  • Preserve the relationship even when agreement isn’t possible
  • Lead others through emotional situations without becoming emotional yourself

💥 Leadership Truth Bombs:

  • “Disagreeing with you doesn’t mean I’m against you.”
  • “Emotions are signals—not drivers.”
  • “You can feel strongly without speaking harshly.”
  • “Healthy discourse is about clarity, not conquest.”
  • “If agreement is the cost of the relationship, your price is too high.”
