The problem of taking … Continue reading President Trump’s Negotiation Skills (or Lack Thereof) – Part 2 →

Touching Story of Relationship of Constructive Engagement in Conflict

For one thing, the photos are wonderfully compelling and artistic images.  They display the faces of people from a country considered … Continue reading Seeing Through Others’ Eyes →
