Cultivating Safe Spaces begins with how we show up and how we relate to one another.
This foundational session explores the Self and Relationship scales of CSS. Participants will strengthen self-awareness, understand what affects their capacity under pressure, and explore practical ways to communicate, navigate difference, build trust and remain accountable in relationship with others.
