Spokane Collaborative Materials - November, 2022

This month we ask that you participate in a self guided reflection and take the Wilder Collaborative Factors Inventory in lieu of a formal convening.

• Video to reflect on: Belonging, A Critical Piece of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion | Carin Taylor | TEDxSonomaCounty

• Submit your reflections here - We will compile your reflections and discuss them next month for shared learning

  Questions in the survey

1. Filll in the blank "If you want people to       , create the conditions for belonging."

2. The 5 tenets of belonging are Psychological Safety, Empathy, Acceptance, Connection, and Embrace (PEACE). Share one way you will personally implement PEACE in your work or communications.

3. How might PEACE be implemented in your organization's practices? Think staff meeting structure, group norms, communications, and wellness.
