A guide to navigating difficult conversations with family around the holidays.
<[link removed]>
Dear John,
With so many different holidays just around the corner there is a lot to look forward to and celebrate – food, family, friends to name a few. But as we all know not all family gatherings are ‘peace on Earth’ - particularly when conversations veer into the tricky terrain of social and political issues.

We know that navigating difficult conversations with family is a delicate art, so our holiday gift to you this year is an updated “
Navigating Difficult Holiday Conversations<[link removed]>” messaging memo that can provide some messaging guidance for you and yours. Here are a few highlights:
🤝 Find Common Ground: By taking a step back and starting conversations with shared values, we can find points of connection that move us forward together.
📈 Avoid Too Many Facts and Figures: Research shows that if we present only a litany of facts and rhetoric, we run a high risk of losing people.
📖 Shared Values, Stories, and Metaphors: Framing issues in shared values, stories, and metaphors can build understanding and support for the issues we care about.
