Reflect on your experience in the brave conversation exercise (~300 words). Some of these questions might help you to structure your response: How did you reason and respond during the discussion, both as a speaker and as a listener? If you like, you can also focus only on one role to go into more depth. Try to identify at least one moment where you became aware of your emotions, defensiveness, assumptions, or cognitive biases. What did you find challenging or surprising about listening without inserting your own view? What did you find challenging or surprising as a speaker having to come up with an argument? What would you like to improve in future conversations?
