Uncomfortable Conversations - Embracing Discomfort together

Join Business Declares in collaboration with Uncomfortable Conversations for a lunchtime session that will ask the hard questions and help us explore the discomfort that’s holding us back from shaking up business as usual.

We know that to unleash the changes we want to see, we need new ways and new spaces of being uncomfortable together. What feels counterintuitive now—what seems like the opposite of action— might be exactly what we need for moving forward together! We will focus on sensing, relating and healing.

What is ‘Uncomfortable Conversations'?:

We unleash radically caring collective potential of being uncomfortable together.

We are a pioneering, experimental ‘challenger space’ for the conversations we’re still not having, for the perspectives we might be ignoring and for the solutions we continue to discount.

The session will be cohosted by Charlotte Sewell and Tess Wehmeyer
