"These generous souls challenge me to grow while doing it safely and nurturing, never with intention to hurt or “fix” me.", Annette Mason
Helping others improve works best when there's common ground...alignment of values, beliefs and organizational direction. People here do things like this. It's also important we're all committed to better, to forward motion, to a growth mindset. But, none of it works if we don't feel safe. If we don't feel we can openly discuss our own challenges, concerns and ideas, we won't. If our flaws are seen as failure, something which can't be fixed, we've lost the chance to improve. The goal then is to remove the fear, to awaken, to help people see, in a generous and safe way, without fear of ridicule or embarrassment. The goal is to acknowledge we're all flawed, we're all human, and we're all here to help each other see our imperfections and get better. The only thing standing in our way is willingness to try. The culture takes care of the rest.
