At our 18th Annual Community Forum, Willam Doherty, Ph.D, co-founder of Braver Angels, led an interactive session on how to have constructive conversations in a polarized world. We are sharing a video of the forum to benefit everyone searching for solutions.
Dr. Doherty is internationally recognized and has worked with therapists, legislators, lawyers, mediators, and clergy for years. Following the 2016 U.S. Presidential election he co-founded Braver Angels, a citizen initiative bringing conservatives and liberals together to counteract political polarization.
Bringing his experience, Dr Doherty helped us focus on new understandings and strategies for initiating conversations that focus on our shared humanity and that respect the integrity and worth of every individual and their views. This community forum was open to all community members and Rotarians and was presented by Rotary Clubs of St. Paul, Minneapolis City of Lakes, and Roseville.
