Listen first. Then listen more. Hear beyond what’s said. Empathize. Then make your case with understanding. Focus on truth, not ego. Let the light shine through your words to illumine and not blind others. Tell a story that says it all. Reason works best with imagination's help. Invite others to see things as you already can. Then accept their invitation to perhaps see more. Raise your voice only when you're in front of a very large group and are without a microphone. Suggest. Don't insist.
