Welcome back to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorrenti. Today we're bringing you part two of our conversation with communication expert Jefferson Fisher. If you missed part one, we recommend going back an episode to hear Fisher lay out his framework for transforming how we talk, and more importantly, How we listen.

Now let's return to the discussion live on stage. Respect is a really important part of the advice that you give. Respect for yourself, respect for the person that you're talking to. But what if the person that you're talking to does not respect you? How do you handle that?

Oh, I like that. You want to talk about that kind of stuff for a second? You're like, yeah. Let's get to the mean stuff, Jefferson. Come on, come on, get to the mean stuff.
