Episode 168 of our week-daily virtual coffee, which takes place in Alpha Collective’s discord server: discord.gg/alphacollective and Clubhouse’s Startup Club from 8-9am EST. It’s free and open to anyone from anywhere in the world.

In today’s LIVE read of Crucial Conversations, we get into the power of dialog. RESPECTFUL Dialog. It’s enlightening and already opening my eyes to avoid the Fool’s Choice. 

Some of the key highlights from today’s session included:

• The importance of mastering crucial conversations through open dialogue and a shared pool of meaning
• Avoiding the “fool’s choice” dilemma and prioritizing respect in high-stakes conversations
• Developing tools to discuss sensitive issues while staying honest and respectful
• Addressing the right issue using techniques like CPR (content, pattern, relationship)
