Together, they explore its 10 powerful components—like Attention, Equality, and Appreciation—and how these elements create an atmosphere where fresh ideas flourish, everyone’s voice is valued, and conversations become more effective. Learn how this framework can improve decision-making, build stronger teams, and cultivate trust—essential tools for navigating today’s complex challenges. If you’re curious about how to inspire creativity, promote inclusion, and drive innovation through better conversations, this episode is a must-listen!
