In this session, we turned our attention to Disagreeing Well.
Savannah is a facilitator who helps people navigate disagreement and understand one another across divides. She has extensive experience leading workshops on topics almost guaranteed to surface differences - politics, conflict, identity - giving people the tools to welcome important discussions confidently and safely, rather than shut them down.
Her TEDx talk, Being Right Is Overrated, sets out the belief behind her work: that when engaging with people we disagree with, the goal isn't to win the argument, but to build the relationship. She brings this same practical approach to the Disagreeing Well workshop, helping people practise disagreement in low-stakes settings so the skills are there when it counts.
