One piece of advice I commonly give to people I mentor is that you don't persuade people by turning arguments or discussions into debate club. Most difficult conversations are emotional ones, even if they may superficially appear to be rational conversations.

If you address the emotional underpinning of the disagreement the rational differences will dissipate shortly thereafter, but if you try to debate a person into agreeing with you they will not relent.
