Conversate with this in mind

When you find yourself in a heated argument or suspect that the conversation is headed in a direction not intended, remind yourself of what you want to get out of it to begin with.

Ask then whether your emotions and words at present are in tandem with that goal and make necessary changes to course correct.

If the goal is to get what you want, give others a reason to first. Put yourself in their shoes and ask whether you're incentivized to give. After all, when someone is interrupting you mid-sentence, is angry and yelling at you, do you open up or lock up?

Be the warm and gentle key.
