LEARN HOW TO...

• Move beyond exchanges of opinion to collaborative discussions
• Disentangle disagreements by tracing them back to the underlying assumptions
• Work towards a joint solution or shared understanding
• End inconclusive conversations amicably, knowing why agreement wasn’t possible
• Understand what’s happening in a disagreement and intervene constructively
• Adopt a win-win strategy for arguing, rather than win-lose

WHERE YOU CAN USE THIS

• These skills can make you more effective at work, especially if you need to persuade others or adjudicate when others disagree.
• You can have more satisfying and functional discussions in your personal life (e.g. family meetings, relationship check-ins, conversations with housemates etc).  
• You will be more effective in political debates, able to listen and reply with more precision and presence.
• You will understand arguments and disagreements of all kinds more clearly.
