Partnering to Change our Toxic Polarized Culture

An interactive experience featuring author and Professor Irshad Manjii

• Is it hard to talk with your friends, coworkers or family because you have different points of view?
• Do their facts match yours?
• Do you wonder if you can ever find enough common ground to have meaningful relationships?
• Should you stay engaged with those who have vastly different beliefs – and how can you do that with integrity?

Learn how to turn contentious issues into constructive conversations.  Professor Manjii will lead a conversation about about the toxicity of win/lose debates, the liberating power of listening to learn rather than to win, and tips and tricks for standing your ground while creating common ground at the same time.
