Don't Get Trumped
(1888 PressRelease) Finding Woo cofounders Beth Brennan and Geri Suster discuss how to remain positive in
a negative political climate.
SAN DIEGO Throughout this seemingly interminable political season, there have been no shortage of things
to fight about. While the election is an important one, the gurus at Finding Woo remind us to discuss the
issues instead of fighting with your friends about the candidates. Because when the election is over, you still
want to have your friends.
With political messages coming at us from all sides, the women from Finding Woo teach us to choose our
battles. These days, one cannot simply opt to ignore political talk around the literal water cooler, as the
advent of social media has created a metaphorical water cooler that is as unavoidable as the posting of
opinions. Instead of Facebook being a refuge where you go for a few minutes to unwind, it becomes the very
place where you get most wound up…all because of something a friend posts. Beth Brennan and Geri Suster at
Finding Woo are life adventurers whose goal is to help others get the best out of life. Sometimes, they say, it's
better to just let it go. They warn that there is no point in arguing.
"You're not going to change anybody's mind," Brennan said.
Instead, you'll only wind up hurting the relationships you have over an argument that will have no real end.
"The relationships you have are far more important than your opinions on the issues," Suster said.
They recommend that friends try to discuss the issues with dignity and informed arguments rather than just
insulting the other candidate. This way, there is a greater chance to actually gain insight. Otherwise, all you
are doing is telling the other person they are wrong. You'd want someone to see your point of view, instead of
telling you that you're wrong, so extend others the same courtesy....
