Ask open ended questions – try to really understand where the other person is coming from and what is shaping and forming their opinion.
Sarah and Beth say: Sometimes the most fascinating human stories are how people got to a place that you truly can’t understand.
Choose empathy. Put on the shoes of the person you are talking to. You don’t have to agree to get along and to understand.
As Sarah and Beth put it: Pull back from the temptation to assign a judgment to everything and instead walk alongside and ask questions.
