About

Sheila Das explores our personal and societal conversations so we all can get to better connections, that is to flow, in our world. Communication is an essential part of our human nature and fulfills a basic human need. It also has been the driving force of human society, allowing us to flourish. Yet talking to each other is not always easy and seems increasingly fraught with challenges. Structures and skills matter. In frank exchanges with guests from a wide spectrum of experience, we uncover the power and problems of our talk today .
