Daily discussions that lead to frustrating circular reasoning like 'I'm right, you're not,' can have far-reaching consequences. This can involve major decisions, such as dropping out of school prematurely, placing a parent in a nursing home, or obtaining a promotion. Even smaller matters, like getting approval for an insurance claim, can cause conflicts. These situations often lead to stalemates and damage relationships, but it doesn't have to be that way.
Book Content
In I'm Right, You're Wrong, Now What? explains Dr. Xavier Amador, psychologist and professor at Columbia University, how you can break almost any impasse and convince your conversation partner. The book is based on the LISTEN-EMPATHIZE-AGREE-PARTNER (LEAP) model, a proven method taught worldwide that helps turn even contentious discussions into productive dialogues.
Application and Benefits
LEAP is based on fundamental psychological insights and recent research. The method helps you build mutual respect and trust, while learning to clearly distinguish between what you want and what you really need. Using LEAP, you learn how to:
