I was sent an email from Kelly B, asking me “How do I win an argument?” I read a bunch of book’s on the subject and this is what I found:
- Don’t argue
- Use welcoming body language
- Get them to like you
- Listen to their side
- Avoid saying the word that they dislike. Ex. Abortion, Immigration, etc.
- Get them to agree they will listen out loud
- Get them to agree with your core principle out loud
- Tell them they have crafted your new beliefs
- List all of the issue’s you agree on and the new one they previously disagreed on
