Finding Common Ground: The Role of Empathy in Difficult Conversations

Send us a Text Message.

What can we learn from a conflict resolution expert who once rode a goat as a child? Turns out, quite a lot! Join us as we chat with the incredible Kristine Scott, who shares her journey from AmeriCorps to becoming a highly sought-after trainer in the field of conflict resolution. Listen in as she reveals the best advice she ever received, her surprising childhood goat-riding experience, and how her young mentees taught her valuable lessons about listening and understanding different perspectives.

In this insightful conversation, Kristine emphasizes the importance of not entering into conflict with a win-or-lose mentality, and the power of empathy and understanding when engaging in conversations related to race and other potentially triggering topics. We explore tips on dealing with difficult conversations, including checking our resources before engaging and the need to aim for connection over winning an argument. Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn from Kristine's experiences and gain valuable insights into navigating complex conflicts, both personally and professionally.
