Most of these American Leadership Forum Silicon Valley Senior Fellows did not know each other when the Dinner & Dialogue started. But we have a fast forward card with each other. I asked “Who do we want to be through this presidential election?” knowing that our politics might differ. We found some difference, but a lot of common ground. We can all agree that generous listening and seeking to understand will help build bridges. #dialogue #bridgebuilding #alfsv (thanks for the question, Judy Le!)
