Insights on Bridging Divides from our "Common Ground Conversations: Pathways to Civil Dialogue" Event!
What an inspiring and insightful afternoon at our recent event, "Common Ground Conversations: Pathways to Civil Dialogue," co-hosted with Search for Common Ground at the EY San Jose office! 👏
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible speakers:
Kailesh Karavadra, Partner at Ernst & Young, for skillfully hosting the fireside chat.
Shamil Idriss, CEO of Search for Common Ground, for sharing profound stories and actionable strategies on navigating disagreements with civility and an open mind, even in the world's most challenging environments.
We were especially privileged to have Mayor Jack Balch of the City of Pleasanton join us and offer his strong support for these vital conversations. His presence underscored the importance of building bridges not just professionally, but within our communities as well.
The energy and engagement from our attendees were phenomenal, proving that the desire for constructive dialogue is strong within the ICAI San Francisco community.
Key takeaways that resonated:
- The importance of listening to understand, not just to reply.
- Moving from political and professional divisions to finding a pathway forward together.
- The power of empathy in shaping a more cohesive professional and personal life.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a meaningful discussion. Special thanks to EY for hosting!
