“Everything happens
through conversation”
Judith G Glaser “The DNA of Leadership”
Dalam setiap perubahan diperlukan percakapan.
Bahasa dan cara-cara yang kita pakai dalam berkomunikasi akan
menentukan komunitas, hubungan, peradaban, dan masa depan.

atau budaya saling menghargai (culture of appreciating), dan fokus
pada apa yang bisa kita kerjakan bersama. Mari kita bangun
peradaban yang lebih sehat.
