We all process information from different points depending on the context, but we have a baseline from which we operate. Modeling Difficult Conversations on Challenging Topics Join us for an epic conversation that models how to deeply listen and, as Ijeoma Oluo describes in the quote below, add more pieces to the puzzle to make sense of this world. We set boundaries you can use that are based around Glenn Singleton’s Courageous Conversations® Compass. Today, we are going to model how to have a difficult conversation between three people from different parts of the world, with different identities, experiences, and points of view. It’s important to recognize how these historical boundaries are placed on communities and have defined our views and regulate our responses. Instead of shying away from or ignoring conversations about challenging topics, we need to understand that how we think about race, class, and gender impact how we manage our place within the world. One of the things we often forget to recognize is that we all have stories-the narratives that we tell ourselves to understand our world. Privilege and the role that it plays in our relationships and communication styles implicitly and explicitly impacts how we manage difficult conversations.
