In this third episode of The More the Brainier, Vinod Rajasekaran of Future of Good asks Rekha Magon, Felix Rundel and Christine Renaud, how we can have curious conversations in divided times.

How can we unlock the potential of changemakers? Future of Good’s answer is to enable them to make a greater social impact in their work through journalism, professional learning events and research. 

 How can we have curious conversations in divided times? 

• Realising when you’re in a bubble
• What real diversity needs to include
• One of the blocks to transformational possibilities 
• What’s needed to start from a standpoint of curiosity
• Why is it so important to be around people with different opinions
• Ways to safely hear an “opposing” viewpoint
• Being aware of one’s internal dialogue when one hears an alternate point of view: What can I learn?
