Civility in the Current Age | Cassandra Dahnke | TEDxFoggyBottom
In this talk, a longtime civility educator, Cassandra Dahnke, shares how meaningful relationships can survive even our deepest disagreements. Learning through powerful personal stories and practical communication, she redefines civility not as avoiding conflict, but as the ability to stand by your own values while respecting the dignity of others. Dahnke puts together actionable strategies for listening more effectively, navigating difficult conversations, and building stronger relationships across differences—at home, at work, and in their communities.Cassandra Dahnke is President and co-founder of The Institute for Civility, a grassroots, nonpartisan 501(c) (3) founded in 1997 to reduce polarization by facilitating dialogue, teaching respect, and building practical skills for civil discourse in both public and private life.
She is known for a plain-spoken, field-tested definition of civility: "claiming and caring for one's identity, needs, and beliefs without degrading someone else's in the process.” Cassandra focuses on what people can do in real time when conversations get hot-listen across difference, de-escalate conflict, and stay engaged without surrendering core beliefs.
Her expertise is grounded in delivery, not theory. Through the Institute, Cassandra has designed and led trainings, workshops, and speaking engagements for civic, educational, nonprofit, faith-based, and governmental audiences across the United States. She also leads Washington, D.C.
legislative seminars and student civic-education programs that combine civility training, guided issue research, and direct engagement with congressional offices —turning democracy into something participants can practice. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx Receive SMS online on sms24.me
