In a world of self-checkouts, food delivery apps, and instant entertainment, human interaction has become optional. But what happens when things don’t go as planned? In this episode, Debilyn Molineaux explores the lost art of negotiation and why it’s critical for a functioning democracy.
Through the lens of The Grand Bargain Project, we examine how bringing people with competing interests together can help rebuild the social fabric. Negotiation isn’t about winning—it’s about finding workable solutions and strengthening our communities. Can we bring back the skills of listening, compromising, and making space for other perspectives? Let’s find out.
Key Topics:
- The impact of convenience culture on human interaction
- Why we struggle with negotiation and compromise
- How The Grand Bargain Project fosters dialogue across differences
- Practical ways to practice bargaining in daily life
