^{“One of the things you have to do in debate is take the other side. You do it long enough and your brain is always alternating. You develop humility because you recognize there is value to the other side.”}

Ask the right questions.

Ranner Faugas is Assistant Director of After-School Debate at the Boston Debate League. He brings his former debater self to every table we’ve sat at with him, ready to question, engage in different perspectives, and say the things that can be hard.

Ranner taught us that it’s a core orientation to be willing, able, and in the practice of seeing other points of view.

^{The project: We’re working with Ranner and the team at Boston Debate League to co-design the organization’s next strategic plan.}
