A Heart to Heart: Compassionate Listening | Tali Goodfriend | TEDxMontrealWomen

How do we find common ground with people we oppose or disagree with?  We are generally more focused on expressing our views than listening to the other's point of view.  Compassionate listening is a process we can use to bridge our differences.
