You've probably been there — a moment when a question lands on your desk, and the answer seems miles away.

It's in these moments that Ava DuVernay's* wisdom shines brightest. In her Masterclass, she champions a phrase that might seem counterintuitive to many leaders: "I don't know."

Yes, you read that right.

Embracing the power of "I don't know" is not a sign of weakness but a testament to strength. As a leader, your role transcends having all the answers. It's about fostering a culture of curiosity, collaboration, and collective problem-solving.

It's about assembling a team that's not afraid to explore the unknown and discover solutions together.

Imagine the shift in your team's dynamics when they see you, their leader, embrace vulnerability.

This simple act can transform your workplace.

It cultivates an environment where every voice is valued and where team members feel safe sharing their ideas, insights, and questions. This is where innovation thrives.

So, next time you're faced with the unknown, remember Ava DuVernay's words. Embrace "I don't know" and witness how it empowers your team to embark on a journey of discovery together.

I am a big fan of Ava DuVernay’s work. Her new movie, Origin, is a must-watch for those who are passionate and curious about diversity, equity, and inclusion. It contains heavy topics about exclusion. Have you seen this movie? Let me know your thoughts.

The Workplace is Not A Disney Story

In the dynamic world of work, it's crucial to equip employees with the skills and knowledge to navigate courageous conversations toward productive outcomes. This training becomes even more significant when we consider the Dutch proverb, "Without friction, there can be no shine!"

It reminds us that the workplace isn't always a harmonious Disney tale.

Challenging situations will inevitably arise, calling for brave discussions. Without appropriate training or guidelines, these conversations risk fostering exclusion rather than promoting inclusion.

Therefore, it's vital to provide effective training to support these dialogues, leading to improved understanding and collaboration. So, let's turn potential friction into opportunities for growth and shine together.

Reach out for the training, "Navigating Courageous Conversations for Productive Outcomes," and learn to transform challenging discussions into powerful tools for positive change.
