In this session, we will take you through repeatable, actionable concepts that can make your company, community, or team a truly supportive, positive, (and productive!) place.

Organizations and communities with human-first, inclusive, supportive cultures thrive compared to those with toxic cultures. Positive and constructive communication is essential to creating, expressing, and sustaining positive culture.

Creating and fostering a thriving, collaborative culture is one of our critical responsibilities as leaders, whether in open source or elsewhere.

Come along to learn how you can apply empathy to achieve clarity and build trust, community (and teams, client relationships, and more) at the intersection of (positive) culture and communications.

We will share our experience and notes on creating human-first, strategic content for tech companies, agencies, and open source projects while building a tightly-knit team to deliver it ... and making our days more pleasant along the way.
