During team discussions, try to find ways to validate your colleague's ideas while also subtly promoting your own. Acknowledge their contributions, provide compliments and encourage an atmosphere of mutual respect and collaboration. By creating a space in which everyone feels heard and respected, you may be better able to influence their thoughts and feelings on the matter. Additionally, remain open-minded and receptive to their opinions – expressing genuine curiosity about their ideas can encourage them to be more receptive towards yours.

You can try using emotional intelligence techniques like active listening, validating their feelings, asking questions to better understand their perspective and mirroring their emotions to create a sense of connection and mutual understanding. Additionally, you can use communication strategies such as focusing on the strengths of your idea and highlighting the potential benefits it could bring to the team or using empathy-bombs to disarm any resistance.
