Mastering Difficult Conversations with Kwame Christian and Kenji Yoshino

Negotiate Anything

NOTE

Navigating Conversational Challenges and Embracing Humility

The three principles discussed are Cultivate Curiosity, Disagree Respectfully, and Apologize Authentically. Cultivating curiosity involves acknowledging gaps in knowledge, especially the challenge of dealing with unknown unknowns. Embracing humility in conversations, as suggested by philosopher Chrissy Daughson, involves imagining oneself in a nuclear physics seminar to approach conversations with radical humility, caution, and attentive listening.
