I Respectfully Disagree:
How to Have Difficult Conversations
in a Divided World
Divisions are on the rise around the world, and sometimes it seems people are losing the ability to disagree without demonizing.
Join us virtually on Tuesday, October 24, as CalTravel Summit Keynote Speaker Justin Jones-Fosu returns to discuss how to have honest and enlightening conversations despite deep and fundamental disagreements. He’ll share how respectfully disagreeing can help us build bridges instead of barriers—in the workplace, the classroom, and even at the dinner table.
If you attended the CalTravel Summit last month, you may recognize Justin Jones-Fosu from his keynote “The Inclusive Mindset: How to Cultivate Diversity in Your Everyday Life”—one of our highest rated sessions this year.
Jones-Fosu, MBA, CSP, is an international speaker, a social entrepreneur, and author. He is the Founder and CEO of Work Meaningful where he speaks 50-60 times a year for professionals, corporations, organizations, and associations.
He is the author of three books, the most recent being I Respectfully Disagree: How to Have Difficult Conversations in a Divided World. Jones-Fosu is a former HR Professional who obtained his MBA specializing in Leadership and Organizational Change and undertook further graduate studies in Human Resource Development. He has also gained valuable leadership experience with three Fortune 500 companies as well as by consulting on strategy, leadership, diversity/inclusion, and organizational development. He is also a former radio host and a former workplace contributor to NPR's The Takeaway. Jones-Fosu was named as one of EBONY Magazines “30 Young Leaders on the Rise.”
