We pay too much attention to the most confident voices—and too little attention to the most thoughtful ones.
Certainty is not a sign of credibility. Speaking assertively is not a substitute for thinking deeply.
It's better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.
The pandemic affected different age groups differently, but I am noticing something with this new group who was very young (5/6y) during lockdown.

When admin do “walk throughs”… “pop-ins”… whatever you wanna call it…

Many arguments get heated not because our opinions clash, but because we fail to show that we care.
In conflict, the most important step isn't to defend your position. It's to reinforce your relationship.
It's easier to accept that you're not like-minded if you're like-hearted.
