Return to Civility

SmikleSpeaks by Joanne L. Smikle, PhD

Episode notes

I’m going to be all over the place in this podcast. I’ll cover politeness, manners and just being respectful of everyone we encounter. I’ll talk about the need to create civil discourse. I’ll even cover email usage and cell phones. You'll enjoy the tips I'll share from Jason Fredrick’s Tiny Book of Electronic Etiquette. As random and scattered as it will seem, there are three common themes:

1. We can be our best selves when we honor the humanity in everyone.

2. All of our futures are tied together so we are well-served to find common bonds.

3. We gain ground on the journey to civility when we seek to understand, listen with open hearts, and reflect on the good in each person.
