SPEECH TOPICS

THE ART OF DISAGREEING WITH TACT AND IMPACT

The my-way-or-the-highway grandstanding that happens in business, politics, the media, and at the kitchen table only causes more division because intolerance met by intolerance just leads to more intolerance. Dr. Massey teaches audiences about the 3-F automatic response—how to spot it in yourself and others. She then gives three actionable steps for how to have a disagreement and still reach a positive outcome. Her method drives respectful discourse amongst colleagues, customers and communities that move businesses and society forward, because when we understand and respect each other, we can see the similarities over the differences and create innovative solutions.
