Community of Practice - Safe and brave spaces

Our Community of Practice Events are underway! These events are designed to be highly interactive sessions of two and ½ hours, to foster an intimate environment in which participants feel secure to learn and explore a specific diversity and inclusion topic.

This summer, we will be discussing the meaning of a frequently used but often misunderstood terminology: "safe space". We will also be diving deep into a new term being used more often "brave space". The sessions will allow attendees to explore how they can encourage employees and leaders to be authentic and feel psychologically safe and brave in the workplace.

We will also discuss how to bake a culture of safe and brave spaces into the work environment in a way that is truly sustainable. Learn more…
