Ep 46: Nisha Anand | The ability to move between worlds is the key to finding common ground

This week, I welcome Nisha Anand to the show. I first came to know about Nisha when I found her Ted Talk titled, The Radical Act of Choosing Common Ground.   Sounds right up my alley, doesn't it?   A long-time activist and the CEO of a non-profit called The Dream Corps, Nisha has been involved in such work as helping garner bipartisan support for criminal justice reform that was eventually signed into law by President Trump.   Call it compromise, call it bargaining, call it whatever you want, understanding differing viewpoints does not have to equal agreement. But there is no way you can find common ground and work toward solutions to challenging issues if you do not first understand the viewpoints and arguments that differ from your own.   Watch Nisha's TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/nisha_anand_the_radical_act_of_choosing_common_ground_mar_2020?language=en   Learn more about Nisha's work with The Dream Corps at https://www.thedreamcorps.org
