Embark
What do you do when the national dialogue sucks? You start listening. And figure out better ways to communicate.I hear a lot of ‘I don’t get them.’ They’re stupid/crazy/too fragile/woke. You get the drift. We don’t seem to get each other. Self-involvement, lack of information or experience, blind adherence to a belief prevents us from seeing things from a different viewpoint. And there are many points of view, many sides to a story.If we don’t listen and don’t engage, we can't really know what another person thinks? And as good as we are, we're not clairvoyant. So get curious. Start with some questions. Let’s listen to understand, if not agree.This season’s Embark goes where few conversations go – to the other side. Or to many sides. Hop on for a little more conversation and a lot more ‘getting’ each other. All aboard? Let’s go.With Liz Solar, Voice Actor/ Writer/Communications Coach
