Whether we realize it or not, we each have our conflict styles and ways of showing up when conflict occurs. These ways of being in conflict are shaped by a variety of factors, including how/when we were raised, what we've been taught, what we've observed, and more. Whether it is our own interpersonal conflicts or larger community-level conversations, it is crucial for us to distinguish between debate and dialogue, and to think intentionally about how we engage. What are some tools that we can utilize to encourage healthy dialogue, and how can we help create a space where others are encouraged to utilize those same tools? We will explore barriers to respectful conversation, practice dialogue techniques, and discuss when to engage and when to walk away.
