Challenging Conversations (a.k.a. Listening Circles) is an opportunity to be able to hear from people with whom you don’t usually hang around. It’s an exercise that helps us to learn to listen well to each other.  And it’s a wonderful way to connect with people and feel safe even with what might be a stretching topic. The important thing to remember is that these are times where everyone is given the space to be heard and that no decisions will be made.
