This was so full of political propaganda that it was difficult to focus on the intended subject. The person leading the training also says multiple times that, even with this method, if the person is "bull-headed" they won't change their mind, which means, it wasn't a successful method, thereby negating the entire point of the training.

I thought this was a good class to take and discuss strategies to have a discussion and not an argument. I know one thing, this is not an easy approach to take because some people may see questioning as argumentative and may get more infuriated by questioning and opening up a conversation about the solution to the problem.

This course was helpful in giving practical advice to how to "argue" appropriately where people can actually reach a good outcome. This taught a good approach to use in our careers and personal lives as well.
