Lesson 9: Don’t Win Arguments, Unravel Them | Jefferson Fisher

Big Think, 3 min, NaN views, Oct 13, 2025

Show description

Have you ever tried to unknot a delicate necklace that’s been jumbled in a drawer for too long? Tug too hard, and you'll tighten the knot. But a gentler touch can loosen the loop. Communication expert Jefferson Fisher believes arguments work the same way. If you come in forcefully, you’ll only deepen the tension. But if you approach with curiosity and a lighter touch, you might get to the source of the conflict. In this video lesson, Fisher demonstrates how to replace a combative attitude with tools for connection. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive content, early, ad-free access to new releases, and more. https://www.youtube.com/@bigthink/membership/ ►Subscribe to Big Think on Substack Explore content that enlightens, inspires, and transforms. https://bigthinkmedia.substack.com/subscribe/ ►Get Big Think+ for Business Engage learners like never before with high-impact video microlearning from the biggest thinkers in the world. https://bigthink.com/plus/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Jefferson Fisher: Jefferson Fisher is a Texas board certified personal injury attorney, business owner, and communication expert.
