About This Webinar
In this webinar, S. Leigh Peter introduces a powerful way to understand everyday misunderstandings through the lens of conceptual “coordinate systems.” You will see why so many conflicts aren’t about ignorance or bad motives, but about speaking from different mental maps—and how to navigate those maps more wisely.
Key Learnings
- Recognize when you and another person are using different conceptual “coordinate systems” in a conversation.
- Identify shared reference points so that complex, emotional, or high‑stakes topics become easier to discuss clearly.
- Use simple, repeatable questions and analogies to translate between perspectives without escalating conflict.

What Learners Are Saying
Here is sample feedback to illustrate the kind of impact this style of teaching can have.

A. Nguyen (Example — please replace)
As an educator, I now recognize when my students are answering a different question than the one I think I asked. It has transformed how I check for understanding.
M. Rodriguez (Example — please replace)
The idea of conceptual coordinate systems gave my ministry team a shared language for navigating theological disagreements without tearing relationships apart.
