I’m generally working with two people who have a legitimate reason to dislike each other bitterly, Bailey said. They’ve cheated on each other, they have stolen money from each other, they have done all kinds of dishonest things. So, if the tips work for people who have those kinds of personal issues, they should work for the Congress. If she has the opportunity, Bailey said shed most like to sit down jointly with Senate leaders, Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Mitch McConnell, R Ky., for an hour of intense mediation. What I would do is actually take some actual text of what they’ve said and I would say now right here you are making an accusation okay, Bailey said, imagining how a session with the two Senate leaders would unfold. When the other person reads this, they’re going to feel defensive and you’re not going to get your point across, so let’s strike that kind of accusation and instead just tell us what your plan is and let’s focus on something positive instead of criticizing the other person. http://www.nashvillenewsupdates.com/1161-the-dating-point-to-launch-its-newest-website-for-mens-dating-guide_nnu.html As a mediator, Bailey said she is not choosing sides and believes that both parties are to blame for the recent impasses that have paralyzed Congress. I really think both sides are to blame and it comes down to individuals, she said. I watch and am always kind of monitoring what they’re saying, and I see people that are in both parties saying things that are accusatory, negative this is some very specific behaviors that they can engage in that can improve things and I know they work. The tips in the 10-point guide include: “You don’t learn anything new when you’re talking,” Get over yourself: This is not here. about you or your party and there’s no way to reach agreement without compromise. Though Bailey is targeting members of Congress with her lesson, she points out that the tips arent only good for politics but for all interpersonal relationships. As I tell everybody, it works in love and in politics, she said.
