Lea Berman and Jeremy Bernard: "There is real power in civility"
Lea Berman and
Jeremy Bernard's new book
Treating People Well might provide the template for the first step in denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula, Yahoo reports.
❝ As during any disarmament negotiation, building trust is the most difficult part. In the coming talks, that process can begin with a discussion on ways to replace the public shaming between Trump and Kim with private respect, decency, and a deep listening for motives. Such soft skills can yield hard results.
“There is real power in civility...,” write Lea Berman and Jeremy Bernard, former White House social secretaries, in a new book, “Treating People Well: The Extraordinary Power of Civility at Work and in Life.” During their work with visiting heads of state under previous presidents, they saw how kindness and other skills can deflect or dissipate fear and anger.
“When you’ve mastered these skills, you can go forth like a superhero and be a force for good in the world,” they write.
“You don’t have to sail through life with the joie de vivre of a Disney forest creature, but you won’t experience positive outcomes if what you’re putting into the world is negative.” [Yahoo.com]
