“I believe we all have huge capacity for growth and change. When you create the conditions for trust, connection and curiosity; magic happens. I used to think that when there was conflict, when things felt stuck it needed fixing. I realised over the years, that when you make a safe space for exploring, for dialogue and, for truly hearing each other, individuals and groups can achieve shifts that amaze you.”
