To kick things off this year, we have with us Shari Foos, Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of The Narrative Method. 

In this episode, Susan and Rohini focus on taking the theory of many of the inclusion lessons discussed with experts in the space over 3 seasons into practical reframes of incidents that routinely occur in the workplace.
