“I think we have gotten better about knowing our community/ecosystem, abundance partnerships, and open leadership but I would love to dig deeper into how we can improve on co-creation, radical inclusion, and shared power. We have gotten better about creating open spaces for connection and discussion but I want to reflect more on how we can open up our thinking around decision-making and co-production.”
