The only way that humans can have a peaceful and collaborative society is by having effective conversations. However, in an increasingly polarized and complicated world, having difficult conversations, that result in deeper understanding, is challenging. It is more important than ever to learn to have constructive conversations. My guest today has extensive experience on this topic, both personally and professionally.
