About this course

Think about the last argument you got into. Did you win? Did you lose? Did it matter? Did you get angry and did it end uncomfortably? How did it make you feel and how did it make the other person feel? If you won the argument, how much did you really gain, and how much did you actually lose? We humans rarely agree. We argue and debate and nothing ever seems to be resolved. The conflict ceases to be about the matter at hand and becomes all about negating the other person. The argument is experienced as a struggle for our integrity, self-respect, and the respect of others. Our entire self-image becomes dependent upon winning the argument. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could cut through the clutter and create consensus for your ideas and proposals? Of course it would. But to get there, you have to stop arguing and start asking questions. In this program, author and Humanist Jennifer Hancock will discuss recent research on how ideas are formed and changed to help you learn how to more effectively persuade people to your point of view. Understanding why and how to turn conversations around using Socratic questioning techniques will help you frame the underlying moral debate to your advantage. Learning Objectives: -Understand what the Socratic Method is -How to use Socratic questioning to initiate and lead collaborative problem-solving sessions -How to create moral consensus by framing a conversation -Learning how to persuade and influence people is an essential life skill. Learning how to influence people without being a jerk is priceless.  If you want to learn how to win arguments by not arguing, take this course.
