His legacy includes training thousands in the art of compassionate dialogue, empowering people to bridge differences in countries experiencing social unrest, corporate boardrooms, and homes everywhere. Rosenberg’s unique blend of practical insight and profound humanism continues to inspire individuals and communities to build compassionate connections.
