Navigating Great Divides

In an increasingly polarized world, how can we foster constructive discourse, rather than division? Join us to gain practical strategies and helpful insights for having hard conversations that are productive and make space for differing opinions while maintaining the collegiality of the bar.

In this one-hour session, we will explore these key topics:

• Defining the Goal: What does it truly mean to “bridge divides” and make space for differing opinions?

• The Science of the Brain: How our neurobiology shapes behavior and emotional responses during difficult conversations.

• Practical Techniques: Strategies to move from emotional reactivity to reflective, critical-thinking mindsets when tensions rise.
