As we approach one of the most heated and consequential elections in recent history here in the U.S., the question of how we talk to one another - and more importantly how we listen - feels more urgent than ever. That’s why we’re beyond excited to have Maria Arpa with us today. Maria has spent her career helping people resolve conflicts from corporate board rooms to street gangs and beyond. She’s developed an incredible tool called The Dialogue Roadmap to help bridge even the deepest divides. Today we’re going to dig into how her work applies to the tense, polarized climate we’re living in, and how we can find compassion and belonging amidst all the noise.
