Stop Telling and Start Listening
I believe we can bridge the gap dividing us. I believe we don't need to cancel, avoid, or shame those we disagree with.
I believe in finding ways to connect and collaborate across diverse viewpoints, discovering solutions to the complex problems before us. "Stop Telling and Start Listening" puts these beliefs in action, as we engage in powerful, insightful learning conversations, as we demonstrate how curiosity and empathy can flourish even in the face of disagreement.
