The Theater of Public Policy: The Art of Difficult Conversations with Jen Ford Reedy
This year, change yourself and the world over Thanksgiving dinner (or at least learn how to keep the peace until the pie comes out).
As a host, journalist and founder/executive director of End in Mind Project, Cathy Wurzer knows a thing or two about having hard conversations—from big changes in family or work to having discussions about the end of life. This week, she’s joining us to share her tips about tackling difficult topics, even when it feels uncomfortable. Afterwards, some of the funniest folks in Minnesota will use the conversation with Cathy as their real-time inspiration for spontaneous theater scenes.
Learn concrete tools to turn dinnertime spats into productive disagreement at our season finale of The Theater of Public Policy.
