Trusting too much in the feeling of being on the correct side of anything, can be very dangerous.
Schultz, 2011

When we stop entertaining the possibility that we could be wrong, we wind up doing things like…torpedoing the global economy.

When people disagree, we tend to think
that the other person
is:
• Ignorant – the other person must not have all the same facts as I do.
• Idiot – the other person has the same facts, but they just can’t put it together right.
•Evil – the other person is distorting the data for their own malevolent purposes.

Reflection: Think about a time when you knew you were right and the other person was wrong.
1. What makes you so certain that you are right?
2. How would things change if it made no difference who was right or wrong?
3. What gets in your way of being “curious” and open to the possibility that you could be wrong?

Learning from Differences
• When we are in judgment mode, we stop being curious and tend to not gather sound and current data.
• Our beliefs may block us from learning from differences.

Learning from Differences
• Learning from differences is not tolerating differences or agreeing to disagree
• When we explore the difference, we actually learn something about ourselves from the other person(s)

How to have a “Learning from Differences” Conversation
Part One: Reflect and Prepare
1. Think about someone who did something different to shared a different opinion or perspective that triggered a negative thought or emotion in you.
2. Identify what triggered your negative perception. How is it different from what you think or believe?
3. Identify what you want to learn from that person about their thoughts and beliefs.
