Taylor, and her business partner, Mollie Khine, are the creators of Convers(ate) ...a time-tested method for sparking conversation, rooted in the art of asking thoughtful questions.
During this episode of the podcast, we talk about the "birth" of the Convers(ate). And what it's like to be an entrepreneur and working mom.
Convers(ate) has three grounding principles...be present, be curious and be respectful.
In this conversation, we talk about getting uncomfortable. Especially in the political season of 2020.
How do we navigate challenging discussions with families and friends? How do we show up in a place of curiosity and growth? How do we move forward with those who have political views that don't align with ours? What values are at the core of our differences? How do we find common ground?
Bottom line...we talk about the importance of trying first to understand..then be understood " Let's listen and learn before we pitch and persuade..." This episode is about the power of courageous conversations in our lives.
