QUESTIONS I ASK MICHELLE IN THE EPISODE:

  • Can you start off by telling us a bit about your background? (Specifically, how did you become a lawyer-turned-peacemaker?)
  • For the past 10 years, you’ve trained thousands of murderers serving life sentences to be peacemakers. I’m fascinated by this! Tell us about the Prison of Peace Project.
  • The subtitle of your book De-escalate is “How To Calm An Angry Person In 90 Seconds Or Less.” Do tell!
  • What do you mean when you say, “Listen others into existence.”
  • How can parents employ your de-escalation tactics with their kids? (Can you share a specific example?)
  • How can we use your de-escalation tactics with our spouses? (Can you share a specific example?)
  • How can people put your de-escalation tactics into practice at work? (Can you share a specific example?)
  • What is emotional invalidation, and why is it so problematic?
  • Even if you weren’t raised to be an empathic person, can you learn this skill later in life? If so, how?
