Do you ever feel like you canāt have a relationship with someone who doesnāt share your opinion or worldview? Many of us did not feel this way until more recently. It can feel like weāre living in a world of silos and separation as we justify a lack of diversity of opinion by assigning labels of right and wrong to one another.
This phenomenon is happening equally among liberals, conservatives – and everyone in between – all around the world.
We believe that this trend is especially detrimental to women. Not only is it difficult for many to speak up freely, ask for support, and share their opinions, but it also prevents us from breaking our own belief systems and biases, potentially preventing us from stepping fully into our power, from collaborating truthfully, and from supporting one another.
Ziva Voices was started with the idea of amplifying womenās voices. Supporting women in the media, getting them on stage, publishing them in our magazines, and, of course, supporting the exchange of ideas amongst them.
Learning to have difficult conversations is part of our mission.
Thatās why our Q3 magazine theme is the Art of Conversation. š° We are looking for women who can speak about:
- How to create deep conversations?
- Why do difficult conversations build trust?
- How to maneuver through disagreements
- A better way of disagreeing with your partner (personal or business)
- How to listen
- Ten ways of starting a critical conversation
- What can we learn from diplomacy?
- How to speak up when itās difficult
- How do you negotiate your salary?
Any other topics related to this theme are welcome.
šļøAre you experienced in any of these topics? Or, have you developed specific tools to help yourself and the people around you to find their voices and speak up? If so please feel free to submit your article here.
