EPISODE #15 – How to Argue Better with Simone Seol
I’m delighted to have my client, business coach Simone Seol, join me to share the principles for how to argue in a more constructive way. A lot of these concepts came up in our coaching sessions, including how Simone was taking these principles and applying them in her own marriage.
You might be surprised by some of the things we cover! Like… you don’t have to make your partner feel better in an argument. We also talk about what happens when you don’t make their emotional reaction about you, as well as why and how you can let your partner know you’re on their side. Understanding the difference between arguing unhelpfully and arguing powerfully and how to build compassion in your relationship can make your marriage stronger for years to come
Tune in to hear our discussion where we go step-by-step through what she has learned, why she feels constructive arguing is important, and how she’s applying these principles in her marriage and her interactions online.
