"I really want to understand more. And then listening... and acknowledging that you heard them. ... That reflecting back of what you heard, and then validating that." So seemingly simple and so profound. Not easy, but such an effective way to reach across the lines we have created and the walls we have built.

An inspiring and thoughtful conversation.
