January 8, 2008PowerPhrase: The key of imagination
I was listening to The Twilight Zone intro and heard it as if it was the very first time. There was a sentence that struck me as beautiful and inspiring.
- You unlock this door with the key of imagination.
I’ve been writing about how to have reasonable dialogue, with a focus on political conversations. (I had hoped to announce the release of the book this week, but it will be another week. It will be worth the wait.)
To me, the locked door is the resistance we experience when we try to communicate things others don’t want to hear. When we’re up against a communication barrier, we often intensify what we did before that didn’t work. It’s easy to get frustrated and conclude, “It’s no use. We can’t talk about this. They’re hopeless.”
But there could be a way in – by using the key of imagination and trying new approaches.
Add some solid communication knowledge and techniques, and you might find yourself calmly discussing ideas you hadn’t considered.
Stay tuned for the release of my book: Unite and Concur: Stop arguing and start communicating about politics.
