Nisha Anand and the Power of Choosing Common Ground
Nisha Anand
Around the world the divisions that define our societies are becoming deeper and more hardened. In this inspiring conversation Dream Corps CEO Nisha Anand and I talk about the power of finding common ground.
If we truly want to make the difference that we say we want to make we have to be willing to work with people who may have radically different points of view to ours but who, miraculously, share common ground with us on maybe only one thing.
Nisha gives us a map to coming together in service of a mutually important goal, beyond the politics and divisions that keep us in our silos of left, right, conservative, or progressive.
This conversation made me think differently about what's possible to achieve with unlikely collaborators.
Have a listen and then take her model out into your own work and expand your power to make change.
