Top 5 Ways to Find Common Ground and Create a Win/Win/Win:

1. Listen to Understand, Not to Respond
Before you share your view, ask real questions. Be genuinely curious. Let people feel heard. People soften when they don’t feel like they’re being attacked. Say things like, “Can you help me understand what matters most to you here?”

2. Identify Shared Values
Look deeper than opinions. Do you both care about fairness? Safety? Freedom? Family? Most disagreements are about how to get there, not whether those values matter. Naming shared values creates common ground faster than facts alone.

3. Get Clear on What You Actually Want
Sometimes we argue just to be right — but what do you really want? Peace? Respect? Clarity? Name it. Then help the other person name theirs. That’s where win/win solutions live.

4. Offer a Path Forward That Honors Both Sides
Ask, “Is there a way we can move forward where we both feel respected?” It’s not always about compromise — it’s about creativity. Find third options. Invite collaboration, not control.

5. Zoom Out to the Bigger Picture
Ask yourself: “What serves the greater good here?” This is the win/win/win. When your actions align with personal integrity, mutual respect, and the wellbeing of the whole — that’s real peace-building. That’s leadership.
