  • Summary

  • We all have certain subjects or topics that, depending on the participants, are almost guaranteed to lead to an intense discussion. And, I use the term loosely. Some subjects simply trigger passionate arguments which often result in the engaged parties passionately and rapidly taking sides, fighting from their position, and not really engaged in trying to learn or understand alternative or controversial viewpoints. Today's lightning rod topic feature a discussion about Palestinian Human Rights Issues. Before you jump to a conclusion about this episode and all the reasons why you might skip it, I would encourage to reconsider reacting to the topic of the show and make time to participate in a listening and learning exercise. While my guest will be discussing their passion for addressing human rights issues in the middle east, I will be focused on having an engaged learning conversation to accomplish the following: 1. Understand why this issue is so important to my guest 2. Learn about the challenges and obstacles associated with their mission 3. Explore ways this issue can be adequately addressed beyond the arguing, defending and blaming which defines much of the conversation today. While some topics or issues elicit intense emotional perspectives, there is always an opportunity to learn more about a subject and the benefits are significant, provided you are able and willing to make the commitment to learn beyond your present beliefs, opinions, and experiences. Join me Monday, June 26 at 11:00AM PT or 2:00PM ET. You'll be glad you did!
