Lesson 2: Say It With Control | Jefferson Fisher

In the right conditions, a fire doesn’t need much to start. A single spark can turn into a blaze before you even realize what’s happened. Human conflict can be just as combustible. But why? According to communication expert Jefferson Fisher, these moments aren’t driven by logic. They’re set off by triggers: deeply personal (and often unconscious) responses shaped by our histories and experiences. In this video lesson, Fisher breaks down the most common types of triggers — yours and others’ — and offers practical ways to douse the flames. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
