Summary

Request A Customized Workshop For Your Company: https://www.americannegotiationinstitute.com/services/workshops/ Kwame's new book, How to Have Difficult Conversations About Race, offers practical tools for necessary conversations about race in the workplace and beyond. This guide provides tips on overcoming internal barriers and navigating around others' barriers to productive discussion. With insights on being strategic about the outcome you want, using "Compassionate Curiosity" to connect and persuade, and avoiding common mistakes, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in social change. In this episode we discuss: -The biggest barriers to having conversations about race in the workplace and beyond. -Why it is important (even though counterintuitive) to listen and show empathy for people we don't agree with, even those who we might fundamentally disagree with or even consider "racist." -Why persuasion is ineffective without empathy, understanding, and trust. -How Kwame mediates differences in perception about race (e.g., between individuals and police officers). -What to do when there is a disagreement about whether race "played a role" in a certain situation. -Moving beyond identity-based thinking to discover shared goals in a conversation (from the micro to macro). -Why debating the "facts" of a situation is ineffective unless there is a validation of people's experiences. -The compassionate curiosity framework: 1) acknowledge and validate emotions 2) get curious with compassion 3) joint problem solving The Middle Way with Dr. Matthew Goodman: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-middle-way-with-dr-matthew-goodman/id1566423470 Follow Kwame Christian on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kwamechristian/ The Ultimate Negotiation Guide: https://www.americannegotiationinstitute.com/guides/ultimate-negotiation-guide/ Click here to buy your copy of How To Have Difficult Conversations About Race!: https://www.amazon.com/Have-Difficult-Conversations-About-Race/dp/1637741308/ref=pd_%5B%E2%80%A6%5Df0bc9774-7975-448b-bde1-094cab455adb&pd_rd_i=1637741308&psc=1 Click here to buy your copy of Finding Confidence in Conflict: How to Negotiate Anything and Live Your Best Life!: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Confidence-Conflict-Negotiate-Anything/dp/0578413736/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PSW69L6ABTK&keywords=finding+confidence+in+conflict&qid=1667317257&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjQyIiwicXNhIjoiMC4xNCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMjMifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=finding+confidence+in+conflic%2Caps%2C69&sr=8-1
