The sad thing about humanity is that we’re so used to being with our people. We want to have conversations with people who look and think like us. But that is where changes come to a standstill.
When we curate safe spaces where people with distinctions can express their thoughts, culture, and emotions, we become more aware of what needs to be done.
Leaders who encourage safe spaces know when to pivot, set up fluid boundaries, and inspire growth as a community.
