Proud of my friend and colleague Ashley Brenden Nye for leading an insightful - and important discussion - with Tempe Mayor Corey Woods and former Mesa Mayor John Giles about how to Disagree Better Arizona. Disagreements are natural and can even be productive, but when they become toxic, we risk losing sight of what truly matters. With the right mindset and effective tools, we can navigate disagreements in a constructive way—focusing on solutions and problem-solving rather than getting stuck in endless conflict. Clayco and Lamar Johnson Collaborative were pleased to host this engaging conversation of 'Women Talking'. Thank you to Michele Pino, Heidi Kimball and Linda Bruce for convening a dynamic audience and including us. To learn more about this initiative, visit www.disagreebetteraz.com.
