How can we talk about difficult topics and still feel like we're on the same team? Lisa sits down with the executive director of "Disagree Better", Marianne Viray, who trains elected officials and decision-makers to navigate difficult conversations without creating division. They explore how to ask honest questions, listen with a willingness to learn, and see people as more than their political beliefs. From family dinner tables to local government, Marianne shares practical ways to build a culture where different viewpoints are welcome, disagreement doesn't have to mean division, and meaningful conversations can bring us closer together.
