Honest Conversations: Talking to Understand; Not to Win

By Timothy McCain

H.O.N.E.S.T. Conversations is a book that helps readers better grasp the art of communication. We live in an amazing world with great diversity, which should be celebrated rather than tolerated. Our differences, cultures, experiences, lifestyles, and identities should be explored and shared without the risk of feeling misunderstood due to a lack of effort to truly understand one another.

Whether you want to learn more about someone's culture as you share a meal or engage in more intense conversations about racism and other injustices, this book provides tools to help guide those discussions. H.O.N.E.S.T. Conversations is an acronym that lays out a blueprint for talking with the mission to understand, not just to win. It functions as a practical framework for navigating both everyday dialogue and difficult conversations with clarity, respect, and intention.
When two people gather with the intention to learn rather than prove a point, progress moves from information to inspiration to impartation. The goal of a H.O.N.E.S.T. Conversation is simple: to understand, not to win.
