Tim continues to look at communication issues during a conflict and how they interact with our social styles.

Tim talks about the message we try to tell when we enter into conflict. How can we maturely handle the conflict we encounter?
Oops. Lost 10/20/13.
It was a busy week.
That’s my excuse. In the rush and bustle of the week – from 10/20 to 10/26 – I inadvertently deleted the recording of Sunday, October 20, 2013. Before I posted it. {sigh}
The notes from class are online, and you can look at those. Sorry if you were looking forward to hearing Trudi’s lesson on confrontation.

Dealing with annoying people is more than understanding WHY they are annoying to you. At some point, you will have to face what is really going on.
But conflict is not always handled well, and we don’t always understand the value of the conflict we encounter.
Trudi talks about conflict and how to handle it.

Tim finishes the discussion that began last week about listening and some facts to consider about why we may or may not be listening as well as we should or could.
We cover a few other gender myths, then conclude with a look at romantic love, what it is, and the real issue underneath.
The original class recording was no good, so this recording was done later. Although it is missing the class interaction that was a fun part of the class, it does contain some material that was left out of the original presentation in class.

We have been talking about “gender myths”, but what is a myth? Is there any truth to the myth? And if there are gender myths, are there also social style myths?
Tim talks answers those questions, then talks about yet another gender myth. It leads to a broader discussion of communication and how to be a good listener.
