In 2009, I experienced a monumental breakthrough.
It didn’t happen on a retreat. It didn’t happen while meditating.
It happened in a classroom, right in the middle of an exercise about communication across differences and diversity.
During the exercise, pairs of individuals from diverse cultures were asked to connect without using words. It was in that moment, I realised something profound:
When we rely solely on words to communicate, we risk missing the point of communication entirely. Real connection, the kind that builds trust, understanding, and change, happens at heart level.
It’s the connection between your heart and their heart.
Until that session, I had never felt or understood so deeply how leadership for inclusion happens far more profoundly than a mission statement. That realisation reshaped the way I approach leadership, inclusion, and equity.
I knew I had to share this insight with others, so for over 10 years I set about developing a framework and tool to help people see why this approach changes everything when it comes to discrimination and human connection.
