“The workplace is one of the last places in the world that we don’t get to choose every single person that we’re surrounded by…so it’s also an opportunity to stretch and grow.” ?? So says Kim Dabbs in her recently published ?? , "You Belong Here: The Power of Being Seen, Heard, and Valued on Your Own Terms." Highlights from the book include: ? IDENTITY MATTERS: When people understand their identity, as well as understand what that means, in a team setting and in an organization, is critical to creating safe spaces that people can thrive. ? LEADERS MATTER: By creating safe spaces for people to show up as their authentic selves, and by providing ways for people to understand their own identity -- as well as their own bias -- leaders can "curate and create" a culture necessary for individual and team growth. ? TEAMS MATTER: Team also have an inherited identity; organizations have an inherited identity, too. At times, those identities need to be recreated so everyone realizes an environment where they can grow and stretch, and "honor the humanity of others and the lived/learned experiences" they bring to the workplace.
