NWSOFA/Indivisible invites you to continue the discussion on the book “The Persuaders” on Tuesday, April 2nd – Zoom format.
In the book “The Persuaders”, ~ the author Anand Giridharadas writes brilliantly about how leaders and everyday Citizen’s are working to change minds, bridge divisions and fight for democracy – through communicating effectively – hear their stories! a perfect book for our times.
Everyone we speak to, whether neighbor, friend, community member or family, carries a slightly different set of values and expectations. In organizing conversations, it’s up to us to listen well and make strategic, thoughtful assessments of how to move our goals forward by taking into account the other person’s responses.
This event continues the discussion of the ideas presented in Anand Giridharadas book, The Persuaders- At the Front Lines of the Fight for Hearts, Minds, and Democracy.
