A mark of emotional maturity is hearing disagreement without taking offense.

Thoughtful dissent doesn't always mean you're wrong. It often means the issue is complex and your knowledge is incomplete.

Good-faith debate isn't an attack. It's an opportunity to sharpen your ideas.

Diversity of thought promotes critical thinking.

Study of 232k Wikipedia pages: politically polarized teams generate higher-quality content—on science & social issues, not just politics.

Like minds create echo chambers. Diverse groups have more extensive & constructive debates.

For many, the internet has become less fun and less informative. Communicators, it's our job to stop spamming people and rise above the noise and chaos online.

I can’t love this enough, especially the reactions of the dean! And, if I was the sort of person who meticulously planned and checked off New Year’s resolutions, these would be some great ones. 😃

We’ve been taught:
- have it all
- push for more
- do it all

What I’ve learned:
- have enough
- less is more
- focus = impact

“We’re not going to change each other’s minds because of a #socialmedia post. But, consistently posting and engaging will push our own views to the extreme and shrink our ability to empathize with others.”

“It’s not enough to understand, you’ve got to do something.”

RIP, Justice O’Connor.

I have and will continue to challenge myself to just that! Over the time I've been consciously practicing this, I've learned a lot about our culture, human behavior and my own biases.
