Description
Have you ever struggled to find the right words when tensions run high? Wanted to stand up for what you believe in but risked fueling the fire? In divided times, how do we speak out thoughtfully, with intelligence, heart and nuance?
Today we’re exploring moving through polarizing moments with intention, in this episode we ask, What if there was a way to stand up for what you believe in, while still seeing the humanity in those you disagree with and also stepping into the conversation in a more intentional and responsive way, rather than reactive, misguided or harmful way?
When circumstances lead to strong disagreement, mixed with deep emotion, and a sense of urgency, people often feel an expectation to speak or act with immediacy, yet taking a stance, let alone a public stance, comes with certain very real risks and responsibilities. How do you determine the right course aligned with your values?
In today’s episode we’re digging into:
When is it right to speak out or stay silent amid turmoil?
How do you move forward thoughtfully when tensions run high?
What’s the cost of reactionary and divisive actions?
How do we maintain empathy and humanity in dehumanizing times?
How do we speak our truths, advocate for a point-of-view, which also honors complexity, nuance, and humanity along the way?
And we’re in conversation with:
