this is probably the best Ted talk I've ever seen. imho
"A lot of times, the other side is blissfully unaware of the impact that their behavior has on us... and this is precisely why it is OUR responsibility to STAND UP and SAY Something if we really care about the relationship and we really care about making positive change." - so many times have I thought that the other party should just know their impact... that they should read my mind.

This man is outstanding. Why are crazy people in government when we could have fine souls like this one steering the ship of state?

What an amazing presentation. I saw myself in this man's struggle and was able to help guide my son with his conflict at school. Great gems of wisdom and compassion.

I’ve learned through my experiences that peace isn’t the absence of conflict but the presence of understanding, harmony & cooperation. True peace comes from facing problems with patience, courage & kindness. Disagreements can become lessons that help people grow, connect & strengthen relationships. When people listen openly & treat others with respect, challenges turn into chances to build lasting peace within ourselves, our relationships & our communities.

Kwame, I've watched this video over and over. There's some amazing humor, research, and anecdotes that helped us connect to your message. I can't reiterate enough how great this was.

Cant explain how grateful I am for coming across this video. I’m dealing with avoiding conflict with my partner and want to work on myself to stop myself doing this (shutting down) . Had the same experience when younger with forming relationships and now have a better understanding 🙏🏾

Glad to listen to your lecture 30mins before I am going to fight with a colleague to negotiate my rights, still a little stressed， but I need to be brave， not matter the result at least I expressed my feelings

Kwame was an amazing speaker at a Leadersgip Conference in my company today. Came to check out his Ted talk and signed up for his Negotiate Anything podcast too. I don't ever listen to podcasts but he was so impressive and I think I can learn a lot from him. Thank you Kwame!

Great great talk . Modern society teaches us to achieve by agreeing to dis agree. Conflict is indeed a opportunity. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.
