Most of us would probably agree that a key to alleviating unnecessary conflict in negotiations is honest, effective communication. Honest, effective communication is achieved by a number of strategies discussed in this site and what is important to remember is this: you bring yourself into every conversation, classroom, career, relationship, and situation. And sometimes “who you are” (i.e., your emotions, political views, educational level, personality, sexual orientation, etc.) can skew your attempts to really listen to another and empathize with their position.
