Having conversations about climate change with someone who has a different perspective can be challenging.
Organizational psychologist Adam Grant has some tips for having a constructive conversation. He suggests that when we fail to disagree constructively we are left feeling more disconnected. To avoid this, consider doing these things:
- Establish shared values before divergent views
- Argue like you might be right
- Listen like you might be wrong
- Discuss how to handle it better next time
