"Even if you don’t expect to end up agreeing with the other person, you’ll learn more if you acknowledge that you disagree and try to understand exactly how and why their views disagree with yours." Recognizing that areas of conflict are really about shared items of "care" is a core of my instruction as an educator, and hopefully my personal practice. Trying to understand the valuable space of another's "care" levels up what we can do together and/or make space for others to do well by getting out of the way as possible.
