We are passionate about creating professional development spaces that foster psychological safety, humility, and a safe environment for discussing topics that may cause discomfort among employees openly. Yet, we understand if we don’t begin with a conversation, progress for any organization can become stuck in a vicious cycle of planning without a sustainable plan that will result in necessary outcomes.
