Pattern for Progress: Finding Common Ground

Now, more than ever, in a nation and communities polarized by politics, stressed by pandemic, economic uncertainty and disparity, we are faced with the challenge of finding common ground. We face difficult conversations as we seek to navigate our differences and move forward together.

There is always common ground. But, how do we find it? How do we discover common ground when the differences feel insurmountable and the tensions are running so high? Join Pattern for Progress President & CEO, Jonathan Drapkin, and Dr. Joshua Weiss, Co-Founder of the Global Negotiation Initiative at Harvard University and President of NegotiationWorks, experienced in negotiating the world's most contentious conflicts, for a discussion on how to find the common ground.

This event will provide tools and examples to equip each of us to address the most difficult conversations we are faced with today, so that we may open up the lines of communication and work together to rebuild relationships and move forward.
