85: Learn how to disagree with Genelle Aldred

<p>I am joined today by a long term friend of mine, Genelle Aldred. Genelle is a former ITV and BBC journalist and the founder of communications consultancy GA\C. She is now a published author and has written a book we all need to read. It’s called <em>Communicate for Change: Creating justice in a world of bias </em>and it explores the missing nuisance to our conversation in the public arena at this moment in time. It’s a thought provoking book that unpacks the tribalism we see in our culture and presents a new way forward, a far more harmonious way, a way that appreciates all individuals and is a guide book to how we get there.</p><br><p>If we want to make a positive difference, we have to know how to recognise our own biases and blind spots - only then can we understand how to be part of the solution and start having meaningful conversations.&nbsp;Genelle offers suggestions to help us be better listeners, readers, watchers and talkers. She breaks down the barriers to effective conversation so that we can disagree in a more nuanced and thoughtful way and stop singular narratives driving our conversation.</p><br><p>This was such a fascinating conversation and I'm thrilled she's shone a light on a topic that is so relevant. I can't wait for you all to hear it!</p><br><p><strong>Find Genelle: </strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/genellealdred/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@genellealdred</a></p><p>Website:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.genellealdred.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.genellealdred.com/</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Buy her book: <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/communicate-for-change/genelle-aldred/9780281085576" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.waterstones.com/book/communicate-for-change/genelle-aldred/9780281085576</a></p><br><p><strong>You can now buy my book, <em>Happy Not Perfect: Upgrade Your Mind, Challenge Your Thoughts and Free Yourself From Anxiety </em>by clicking </strong><a href="https://www.waterstones.co
