Outstanding Commmon Grounder Commentary

Championed common ground in an extraordinary interaction with a protester, demonstrating grace and listening to understand. As security escorted the protester, who was screaming at Mr. Ramaswamy, out of the venue, he said, "I want to hear what she has to say; please bring her back in." He then listened attentively as she shared her perspective, asked for her name, and thanked her. The audience applauded and the protester began crying. He then noted how important it is to model free, respectful exchange of ideas. Reflecting on the experience later, Mr. Ramaswamy said, "I was moved by what is possible in our country, even as our country is broken."
