We love to be aligned with our people. It’s less work. We all reinforce the same values and beliefs. We feel safe.
And yet…Houston, we have a problem if we live on two different planets here in the U.S. where the blue planet doesn’t get the red planet.
So let’s break the spin cycle. Earth and Mars have some similarities, after all!
Your mission, if you choose to accept it: reach out to someone you know who doesn’t agree with you on a heated topic (could be the current POTUS and the President-elect, if you dare to start there). Find three common things you agree on, about anything at all. Make it super easy like sports or favorite color. Then try to find three things you agree on (use positive references) about each side.
Be truthful. Be thoughtful (not trite or sarcastic). Be kind. Be safe. Be appropriate. Now go.
Over and out.
