As a current Manager of a team, I found this provocative, informative and engaging. Maria's challenge to us is necessary and timely. Watched it more than once and its still got me thinking! I look forward to more from Maria!

[@mmorukian]

Thank you so much, Brad! If all managers had the tools to practice expansion and build connections, think how strong our organizations and teams would become!

[@JakeVoorhees]

[@mmorukian]

What are the diversity and inclusion challenges you face in your community, organization, or team? How can expansion help you build connections across the biggest differences?

[@JakeVoorhees]

While pursuing D&I initiatives, I have trouble melting fear from differing demographics. I'm still a tall white male in America, and despite all my efforts, each and every time when going into new spaces, it's an uphill battle. So I'm constantly trying to learn better ways to approach and gain acceptance before we're able to collaborate. I am sure you have ideas? Thank you Maria!

[@ajkehs]

I love it!!!

[@mmorukian]

Thank you, Amy!

[@JakeVoorhees]

What did you love the most? Thanks!
