Season 7 is dedicated to underutilized soft skills like emotional intelligence, cultural awareness, and creating safe space for honest conversations.  Pre-pandemic these skills were deemed as optional or a bonus if a workplace or a leader portrayed these characteristics - in today’s world, post-pandemic, and post George Floyd, these skills are a must.

• Developing trust among diverse colleagues
• Protecting your mental health at work, especially for POC
