Why is it so hard to have a calm, productive conversation these days? In this insightful episode, Dr. Amelia Kelley sits down with communication strategist and TEDx speaker Greg Singleton to unpack why meaningful dialogue has become such a challenge and how we can bridge the growing divide in our relationships, communities, and workplaces.
Greg shares a powerful framework for understanding the three types of conversations we all engage in: emotional, social, and practical, and how confusing them can quickly turn connection into conflict. He and Dr. Kelley explore how ego, emotional reactivity, and lack of self-awareness derail communication, and what it really takes to listen without judgment, speak with empathy, and repair trust even when you disagree.
Whether you’re navigating tense political discussions, family disagreements, or workplace friction, this episode offers grounded tools to help you stay centered, curious, and connected even when things get heated.
