Overview

We ALL long to be witnessed in our uniqueness, valued in our identity and fully heard in our stories. We want to be and feel included in meaningful experiences that acknowledge our self- definition, while being in community. Essentially, we all want and need empathy for our basic survival. We are learning, against prevailing wisdom, that human nature is not to seek mere autonomy, but to be in companionship with others. Thus, the necessary maneuver is to try to translate this human component within our work environments to ignite a spirit of creativity, innovation, and growth.
