Thanks, as always, for your thoughtful offerings. The strategies from the hostage negotiator were well explained. Sounded so simple, but resisting old ways of dominance and listening only passively can quickly come into play. Practice, practice. I’ve read of glasses that actually correct color blindness. Wish I’d had them today! No more guessing at color names… 😁

hahaha! Our brains on color... what fun! I learned a technique -- blowing loose paint around the page with a straw. Whee!

I couldn't link the Spotify podcast I listened to for some tech reasons I won't bore you with... That said, the negotiator has published a book and there is a lot of content out there surrounding him and his ideas if anybody wants to learn more.

I see a fine line between using psychological communication techniques to benefit the whole versus benefiting the self. There was an example shared of using a negotiator technique to get the best table in a restaurant... That didn't sit as well with the muses.

Ooooh! I recently saw another great video regarding the difference between narcissism and universality. In case you want to investigate: https://youtu.be/Tz_ETXDqdCU

I was able to watch the hostage negotiator on YouTube. And yes there were several ways to learn more on the topic and this speaker. I missed the Spotify aspect?

Oh... the tech details want to be heard! I listened to the podcast on Spotify, but do not have that or WhatsApp (where I originally received the link) on my laptop. I was time crunched to publish because I was scheduled to attend a Zoom call. I didn't have time to figure out the phone to laptop transfer. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Or... I guess you could say I didn't make the time.

Here is the link in case anybody is interested:
