How to overcome unproductive conversations? Here are some responses that may help:<\/p>\n

• “Yes.”<\/span><\/li>\n
• “No.”<\/li>\n
• “I don’t agree.”<\/li>\n
• “I don’t know.”<\/li>\n
• “I don’t understand.”<\/li>\n
• “I don’t remember.”<\/li>\n
• “I’ll get back to you.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  If you say, “Maybe,” it sounds vague. So a seemingly valid response like, “I’ll think about it.” Negative comments like, “That’s ridiculous!” or polarizing comments<\/a> will lead to further communication breakdowns.<\/p>\n

  Don’t worry so much about gaining agreement, set the bar high on achieving clarity.<\/p>\n

  Skill may help, but you need to embrace conflict, and have self-confidence to connect and communicate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
