Tough Talks True Connections Quotes

“Force can never foster true understanding or lasting change. Education, unlike force, is the catalyst for meaningful transformation, as it equips individuals to internalize and embrace new ideas through thoughtful engagement.”
― Saleh Alebi, Tough Talks True Connections: Navigating Delicate Discussions with Dignity and Diplomacy

“Understanding that change is often a gradual process is crucial. Your role may be to plant a seed, introduce a new idea, or gently challenge a belief. Sometimes, that’s as far as you can go at that moment. Someone else may continue the conversation later, building upon the foundation you’ve laid.
Dialogue is not a sprint but a marathon and each participant contributes to the journey of understanding in their own way.”
