Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorenti. In a time when conversations often feel more divisive and polarised than ever, knowing how to communicate effectively has never been more essential. Today's episode is part one of our recent live event with Jefferson Fisher, live at Union Chapel in London. Jefferson Fisher has built a global following by addressing these very challenges.

As a trial lawyer turned communication expert, his short, practical videos have helped millions master the art of effective conversation. He joined us live on the Intelligence Squared stage in June to mark the publication of his debut book, The Next Conversation. Fisher was speaking to award-winning broadcaster Jenny Kleman to share his game-changing framework for transforming how we talk and, more importantly, how we listen.
