How Do I... Listen When I Know I'm Right & They're Wrong?

Ever get stuck in a conversation where you know you’re absolutely right, and the other person is just completely missing the mark? In this “How Do I…” episode of Be the Sun, Not the Salt, Dr. Harry Cohen and Connie Fontaine get honest about what it takes to actually listen when you’re sure you’ve got the right answer… and someone else doesn’t.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• What real curiosity sounds like, and why “leaning in softly” can shift everything, even in tricky moments
• Tips for moving beyond “winning” an argument to truly understanding the other person
• The subtle difference between listening to change minds and listening to open your own
• Stories from everyday life and work where genuine listening made conversations richer (even when it wasn’t easy)
• Playful reframes and word tracks to help you pause, redirect, and bring more heliotropic energy when tempers flare

If you’ve ever left a tough conversation wishing things had gone differently - or wondered how to turn debate into genuine connection - this episode is for you. Cue up honest laughs, practical reminders, and that feeling when curiosity beats certainty every time.

(Mini “How Do I…” episode - perfect for anyone navigating disagreements, building better relationships, or just wanting to be a more generous listener.)
