What To Do If You Can’t Even Agree in the Facts: Two Field-Tested Solutions
It can seem impossible to find common ground if you and someone you’re talking with can’t even agree on the facts. It isn’t. In this surprising and actionable interactive talk, conflict management expert Prof. Seth Freeman will help you learn two ways to turn the problem into a bracing opportunity to turn impasse into something much better. The first: Adversarial Collaboration, a way for scholars, students and civilians who disagree to jointly research the question. The second: Bold Humility, a seemingly paradoxical method that has produced Nobel Peace Prizes and stunning public policy successes.
