Kimberly, Sonia, and Jonathan answer a question from Lois in Saint Louis, Missouri:  

“How do you build common ground with others who see the problem or situation differently?”

Kimberly recommends to not feel threatened by the differences and instead focus on finding some points in common. 

Sonia shares a tool for revealing one’s thinking that aligns with constructive curiosity.

Jonathan reminds Lois that truly listening is a great way to not make others defensive and more open to understanding.
