Persuasion and empathy

Sometimes it’s more valuable (and human) to let persuasion take a back seat to empathy. Instead of trying to persuade someone of your point of view, first try sincere curiosity about how they see things. As a bonus, seeking to understand before being understood increases the likelihood that we will be able to persuade anyways.
