Welcome. I'm Kevin Miller. This is a podcast for your personal evolution. In this episode,

the intellectual capacity of both and thinking. I continue to research human communication, and

I find the vast majority of everything that we communicate is subjective. We're seldom

discussing facts and right, wrong, black, white issues. They may feel so to us, but if pressed,

we'd need to admit that what we're arguing or advocating for is not fact. The topic or issue is not unanimously provable. But it is efficient to just

cite our perspective as truth and come across that way. It takes time and effort to really

understand and consider all the sides. So I sat down with an expert on the concept. Wendy K. Smith, she has a PhD in organizational behavioral

behavior from Harvard and is the Dana J. Johnson Professor of Management and Faculty Director of the

Women's Leadership Initiative at University of Delaware. She's an expert on organizational paradoxes,

exploring how leaders and individuals effectively respond to contradictory,

yet interdependent demands.

She spends her time continually working to better manage.

Again, the paradoxes of life that we all face.

And I just, I like that word that so many things feel paradoxical.

So she co-authored a book called Both and Thinking,

Embracing Creative Tensions to Solve Your Toughest Problems.

This topic is really of the utmost importance to me as I continue to see our world

in conflict and people more isolated. So coming up next, I talk with Wendy Smith about how to

better understand and harness both and thinking for our betterment and the betterment

of others. Let's evolve ourselves. When you're selling an online product, your last and
