When does engagement in conversation (where two people are being open and honest about what they think) become “confrontation”.  Is it possible for you and I to disagree, but still engage in a healthy conversation? Is it possible that we can both come to the table with our “fixed” view of what is right and still hear what the other has to say? Be able to consider the other person’s point of view (without making them wrong)? And can we both learn something through the conversation, through the engagement that opens up new possibilities for each of us……if we are less attached to “being right”?

If so, how important is it that we get comfortable with this level of engagement in our relationships and our businesses? Can we be honest & kind at the same time? Can we have the courage to say what we mean in a way that is not disrespectful to the other person
