✨Great leadership starts with connection.
Judgement creates distance - but empathy, curiosity, and care build trust.

When we understand how to show up for others, we lead in ways that truly matter.

Separation affects every area of life. More needs to be done to support parents navigating a divorce or separation and embarking on a new, co-parenting journey. Let's do separating better...

This figure illustrates why more must be done to support separated parents. 

We need to see workplace policies which support co-parenting, relational leaders who understand that what goes on at home impacts work (and vice versa) and accessible support for parents. Let's do separating better.

Everyone deserves healthy, loving relationships. But for many LGBTQ+ people, especially in first same-sex relationships, the journey can be tough. It's important to have a good support system.
