Why do we avoid difficult conversations—and what happens when we don't?
Many people at work avoid conversations about race, identity, harm, and systemic inequity—not because they don’t care, but because they’re afraid of saying the wrong thing, causing discomfort, or facing backlash. Yet real progress can’t happen if we can’t talk honestly.
Brave Space Conversations is a 90-minute, equity-rooted workshop designed to help individuals and teams move beyond silence and into meaningful dialogue. This session combines emotional insight, practical tools, and evidence-based strategies to help participants show up with confidence and compassion, even when the conversation is hard.
Together, we’ll explore:
- Why difficult conversations feel risky and why we avoid them
- How power and positionality shape whose voices are heard
- The difference between intent and impact
- Tangible strategies to stay grounded, present, and equity-centered in real time
Whether you're leading a team or a staff member on a team, this session equips you with the language, posture, and courage to speak truth with care and to lead dialogue that transforms, not just informs.
