“Compassionate Dialogue is how we will heal our communities, one conversation at a time. This book provides practical examples on how to effectively internalize the RIR protocol (Recognize, Interrupt, Repair). I have used the RIR Protocol to lead my school system, improving the way we interact with one another. This book helps us take a deeper dive so that we can engage ‘from a place of empathy. Empathy means feeling what it’s like to walk in someone else’s shoes, which is the level of understanding we’re looking for.” – Dr. Julie Vitale, Superintendent at Oceanside Unified School District
