BRIDGING THE GAP
An Adventure with TEDxMileHigh speakers Lauran Arledge and Caitlin Quattromani exploring how to ask powerful questions and find common ground across political divides. 
Hard conversations require great courage. Lauran and Caitlin stand on opposing sides of the political aisle, but have intentionally knit a close friendship that does not shy away from hard questions and discussions. Join us as they share their process for bridging the gap, establishing ground rules to build conversations on inquiry and curiosity, and you will even work out your own civil conversation muscles with other attendees. 
Lauran Arledge started her career as high school social studies teacher in Wilmington, North Carolina. In the past 15 years Lauran has worked in public health violence prevention, community organizing, coaching, and organizational development. She currently holds a leadership position in talent development for a Denver-based technology company. 
Caitlin Quattromani is a Colorado native and mom to two elementary school-age boys. She graduated from the University of Denver with an international business degree and has been fortunate to travel the world as a marketing and product leader, including living abroad in Luxembourg. She currently leads multicultural marketing for a Fortune 50 company in the Denver area.
