60 Seconds: Are They Good People With Opposite Beliefs or Bad People Because of Beliefs?

<p>Hello to you *listening* in <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/spain/aragon-basque-country-and-navarra/zaragoza">Zaragoza, Spain</a>!</p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.</p><p>How do you sort out good people with opposite beliefs from people we might label as bad because of their beliefs?  </p><p>I spent over a decade of my life listening to focus group participants who offered opinions, beliefs and personal experiences about the pre-trial cases I was testing. I thought I'd heard it all over the course of my life, but apparently I hadn't. Judgments were jackpot justice. Money would not bring back an arm, a baby, a loved one. If the injured person had only been more responsible. And so on. I had to teach myself to listen with intention although I wanted to beat the living daylights out of some people for their beliefs.</p><p>The more I could focus on what I was learning and set aside how I felt about it the better able I was to draw out the speaker, listen more deeply and, in turn, help my trial attorney clients understand the nature of their case and the jury they could be facing.</p><p><strong>Practical Tip</strong>: It ain't easy to sit on your tongue, listen and learn, but it's doable.</p><p><i>This is the place to thrive together.
