Opening Conversation

Is Disagreement a Dying Art? A Case for Civil Discourse

Thursday November 20, 2025

6:30 p.m.

In-Person…Stay Tuned for Venue

Presenter: Stay Tuned…

We believe that progress is born from friction and that innovation is sparked by dissent. Yet, we increasingly shield ourselves from ideas that make us uncomfortable. In our pursuit of harmony, have we accidentally sacrificed growth? This presentation makes a compelling case for embracing intellectual friction and reviving the art of good-faith disagreement. We will explore how civil discourse acts as the engine of a healthy democracy, a thriving workplace, and an enlightened society. This isn't just about being polite—it's about being brave enough to engage with complexity and courageous enough to change our minds. Join us for a thought-provoking look at why the future depends on our ability to talk to people we disagree with.
