Be open to the possibility that you are wrong, almost certainly about some things, likely about many things, this will allow you to learn something from the other person as well as help you not to joust lecture them. Find some sort of common ground. You probably don't disagree about everything and you are probably driven ultimately by the same basic motivations with disagreements about how to get there.
