About this episode

The strongest teams are built on honesty, care, and trust. Farra Trompeter, co-director, talks with Desiree Adaway, founder and principal of The Adaway Group, and Jessica Fish, facilitator, educator, and researcher, about moving from a culture of nice to a culture of care, where people can speak openly, share real feedback, and trust one another. They explore how organizations can extend the same care to their staff that they show the people they serve, the skills teams can build to strengthen trust, and how slowing down leads to better work. You’ll also get practical steps for leaders and for staff without formal authority who want to help their organization’s culture thrive.
