It’s easy to get along with people who think like us, act like us, and see the world like us. But what happens when we find ourselves working, living, or engaging with people who aren’t like us? In this episode, we unpack the reality of navigating differences—whether it’s political, religious, personality-driven, or even just lifestyle choices.
From serious divides to everyday annoyances (Mac vs. PC, early birds vs. night owls), we explore the four ways people handle differences:
1️⃣ Ignore them
2️⃣ Try to change them
3️⃣ Cancel them
4️⃣ Understand them
The first three? They’re easy. The fourth? That’s where growth happens.
If you’ve ever struggled to work with someone who challenges you, my new book, How to Work With Complicated People, is for you. It’s packed with practical tools to help you communicate, collaborate, and thrive alongside people who think nothing like you. Pre-order your copy today!
🎧 Tune in now and let’s talk about what it looks like to truly understand the people who are not like us.
