You set time for straight talk.  There was a guide on how to have an honest and respectful conversation.  This was a part of the culture--we had folks that we could ask questions about the process & we were all trained in it.  Helped people in the conflict self-manage it.

Maybe get them more involved in other depts, like research and legal, so they get exposed to other aspects of our org.

In staff meetings,  build in an acknowledgement or recognition practice that highlights how collaboration worked well, how teams are working well & uplifting each other. 

2.  Internalize it in your meetings. From leaderships to internal staff meetings, this becomes part of the dialogue.

Alumni programming and advisory committee - very youth driven. We're going to be in hybrid model as things open up. Theater, written online, but will be filmed outside by different groups of youth. Mentor them and give them introductory to scriptwriting and film production. Mentoring and job opportunities.

Invite development staff to observe our programs, so they have a better understanding, especially on a day when we try to collect the surveys, and experience bad internet, long surveys, etc. (Inter-departmental communication - don't just hand it down the assembly line.) https://padlet.com/readytorise/may19breakout1/wish/1541406692 2021-05-19 21:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/readytorise/may19breakout1/wish/1541406692 How to normalize mistakes and failures and make them learning opportunities WilsonandAssociatesConsulting https://padlet.com/readytorise/may19breakout1/wish/1541409675 Something that you reflect on.  I've never seen this.  

Normal culture is hiding mistakes and not talking about them.  Most people are focused on pointing the finger and blaming instead of how to learn from mistakes.  And generally if mistakes are made people are making the same mistakes.  There's opportunities for everyone to learn.
