In this episode, we tackle a conversation we’d rather avoid—but know we must have. How can leaders create the conditions for constructive dialogue in divisive times?

Do they take a stand based on their company’s vision, values, and business needs, even if it alienates some? Or do they stay silent, wary of the risks in today’s political climate?

We don’t claim to have “the” answer, but we do offer ideas on how to:
• Prepare people for difficult conversations.
• Take it slow—without turning it into an initiative or labeling it.
• Act once you’re grounded in what’s real and what the company needs.
• Foster a space for candid, honest dialogue.

No neatly wrapped solutions here—just real talk. We think you’ll enjoy it anyway.

Come on in, grab a snack, and welcome!
