"Point Taken creates a space for respectful, judgment-free discourse and pushes people beyond their comfort zones. The game is simple but nuanced, helping participants move past fears of discomfort, criticism, or ‘cancellation’ when engaging with difficult topics."
Reed Schultz
MBA Candidate at Northwestern Kellogg
"Our half-day together was a refresher of the dialogue skills we all learned last academic year. Plus we got to disagree, agree, and laugh about it every step of the way. We made a great decision to use Point Taken!"
Prof. Adam Goodman
Center for Leadership & McCormick School of Engineering
"BridgeUSA at NU was honored to partner with Professor Franconeri this year to bring the game to Northwestern students. By allowing participants to share their honest opinions without rushing to judgement or retort, it facilitates precisely the type of empathetic discourse our country needs."
Henry Fleck
President, Bridge USA at NU
"Point Taken gave us a safe, structured, reflective, and fun way to engage in the level of discourse we’ve all been searching for. My friend and I both left with our minds changed on topics we thought we’d never budge on!"
Joe Moeller
MBA Candidate at Northwestern Kellogg

Peter Smith
MBA Candidate at Northwestern Kellogg
"As someone who is quick to react especially in political conversations, having to slow down and really think through my opinions. The format of Point Taken made our conversations fun, smart, and productive.”
