[Libs-Or] FREE WEBINAR: Reaching Across the Political Divide to Build Support for Libraries

[Every Library]

Recent political campaigns and philosophical confrontations online and in
the press have destroyed lasting friendships, frayed family ties, and
alienated neighbors and co-workers. Social media has devolved into a
battleground of nasty diatribes and personal slurs.

The *Discovery Model *is about first listening to the other person’s point
of view and being able to understand their values and the world they live
in. The point? It’s about strengthening and sustaining workplace, personal,
and online relationships, not trying to win the argument du jour. And
learning to live in peace on the same planet with people you disagree with.

For libraries and other organizations looking for financial and political
support, influence begins with empathy. Do you know the other person’s
priorities? How your political opponents find the information that guides
their decisions? What misunderstandings they might have about your
positions? And, most importantly, what mistakes might you have been making
when communicating your values and advocating for your causes?

Topics include the concept of listening with a “clean heart and fresh
eyes,” the 75% rule, why emotions can be more important than facts,
questions that elicit information, building trust and respect, turning
enemies into allies, and how the *Discovery Model* might change your
opinions as well.
