Make It A Habit: Are You Willing To Compromise?

How are you approaching discussions? Do you have a game plan in mind? Building a framework for how you talk to others will help you more easily build bridges. Here are a few tips for how to approach discussions about issues with compromise and bipartisanship in mind:

1. Be informed. The very founding of the United States and writing of its Constitution was a series of compromises. Keep this principle in mind when thinking about today’s political climate.
2. Know what a classic compromise looks like. It may come as a rude awakening, but compromise not only involves getting less than what we want, it involves getting even less than what we think we deserve.
3. Talk to others. Fighting division and finding a middle ground is a team sport. It’s worth sharing the work we’re doing to convince others it’s worth it.
