How To Talk Politics Without Being An A$$hole with Lindsey Cormack | 242
Manage episode 445069791 series 3603958
We’re doing something a little different on this episode, and throughout this month, as we approach a major and divisive election in the United States. We’re going to talk about politics from a neutral and curious place.
No ranting. No calling you an idiot if you don’t share my beliefs. No name-calling, period.
I’ve invited Lindsey Cormack back to the show, because she’s one of the few people I know who can genuinely deliver on this type of political discussion. We recently released an episode together called How to Raise a Citizen, and I was so impressed with her approach that I asked her to come back.
I don’t know Lindsey’s political beliefs and she doesn’t know mine. We’re going to have a conversation about politics that is likely very different from what you’re used to. I hope it’s refreshing and that it gets you thinking.
Because it’s critically important that we practice the hard skills of listening, learning, curiosity, and empathy right now more than ever.
It takes no skill to foam at the mouth and call someone names. True leadership, and true citizenship, is about understanding, listening, and engaging in meaningful dialogue. Let’s be an example of that. Let’s model the behavior we want to see— let’s behave better.
