Dan Heath: In Someone Else’s (Working) Shoes

Learn to connect better with others in every area of your life. Immerse yourself in spirited conversations with people who know how hard it is, and yet how good it feels, to really connect with other people – whether it’s one person, an audience or a whole country.

It's something we need now more than ever.
