Resetting the Table
Company Overview
Resetting the Table (RTT) equips leaders and communities with tools and skills to confront, honor, and learn from political differences. Through rigorous training, courageous dialogue, and depolarizing media content, we enable Americans to transform political disagreement into a source of strengthened relationship, creative problem-solving, and collective insight. We work to build a shared sense of “we” that includes our political counterparts and their aspirations and concerns, even while directly confronting and investigating our differences. We are a leading innovator and resource in the civic bridge-building field, and our method for building “healthy conflict” in communities and religious congregations is nationally recognized and highly sought after.
Transforming toxic polarization starts with building a team of caring, dedicated individuals and providing them with a supportive, collaborative environment where they can thrive and develop while making a meaningful impact. At RTT, we see the motivation, growth, and well-being of our team members as a critical ingredient to our success. Our mission-driven workplace culture is dedicated to excellence, authentic collegial care, and investment in the professional development of each team member.
Company History
RTT was co-founded in 2014 by Dr. Eyal Rabinovitch, a mediator and former sociology professor at Wesleyan University, and Rabbi Melissa Weintraub, previously the founding co-executive director of Encounter, an organization that builds courageous Jewish leadership on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Drawing from mediation, peacebuilding, group therapy, and other frameworks, Eyal and Melissa teamed up to develop what became RTT’s signature methodology: a unique approach that helps ideologically divergent parties overcome destructive tendencies of conflict and remain receptive to each other even while going toward the “heat” of their differences.
Since then, RTT has built an all-star staff team and a robust bench of more than 100 skilled facilitators who support communities across the country to speak, listen, challenge each other, and deliberate with confidence, mutual recognition, and respect. To date, RTT programs have directly reached more than 40,000 participants, many of them community leaders, clergy, and other multipliers who are contributing to far-reaching culture change and impacting hundreds of thousands more. RTT has collaborated with thousands of religious, community, campus, and civic organizations, and we are increasingly sought out by the U.S. political bridge-building field as a resource for training and best practices.
