Navigating complex and tense conversations can easily result in emotional grenades being tossed across the room and little to nothing being resolved. Today we speak to Bill Eddy, well known for his work in the high conflict area about How to Effectively Communicate When Tensions Run High.

Bill talks to us about his latest book, "Calming Upset People with EAR" an acronym for Empathy, Attention and Respect. Bill's EAR tool is designed to help in HC conversations and with HC personalities. While at first the thought of showing Empathy, Attention and Respect to someone who has caused you pain seems counterintuitive and perhaps counter productive, as you listen to Bill explain the power and impact of this simple approach to tense conversations, you will be tempted to give it a try!
