Book Jeff for a Virtual Talk!

Sure, the thought matters, but in the end it’s not what counts. How you show up for the impact you had - regardless of what you intended - will help determine whether the thought counted. @higherunlearning
In 2010 I gave a TEDx talk on the power of words: how they can build or destroy. Everything starts with our words.
Friends in Oxford County (and also folks in surrounding areas like London, Brantford and Kitchener): @oxforddart invites you to join me for a warm conversation around way to talk and move us closer towards equity in our communities.
Watch the video for the wonderful conversation I had with @danmahle about the pitfalls, paradoxes, and possibilities of inviting and engaging men meaningfully into inclusion work, and modelling healthy masculinities in the workplace!
