William Ury helps people “get to yes” through his skills as a mediator, writer, and speaker. He has wide-ranging experience working with conflicts, from family feuds to boardroom battles to ethnic wars. Listen to his recent TED Talk, where he discusses the simple but powerful idea of embodying a “third side” to transform conflict.
“The secret to peace is the third side. The third side is us, each of us, with a single step, can take the world…a step closer to peace. There’s an old African proverb that goes: “When spider webs unite, they can halt even the lion.” If we’re able to unite our third side webs of peace, we can even halt the lion of war.”
