(Sway Them in Color Podcast) Creating safe relationships in an unsafe culture

In this episode we explore my guest Monisha Bajaj's experiences with running relationship and sexual violence prevention programs that go against some of conservative cultural norms in Thailand where her organization is based. If you've wanted to understand how to address tricky conversations and conflicts in a community or group, or how to build safe relationships, this is your episode. Monisha is a strategy execution consultant and founder. She works with founders 1:1 to guide them through expanding their business' capacity while protecting their well-being. Before this, she founded Ruam Chuay Foundation, an organization that runs relationship violence prevention programs in Thailand. Monisha's career is dedicated to helping people create healthy businesses and safer relationships. In this conversation we explore + the benefits and challenges of going against a cultural norm and social expectations.  + how understanding attachment theory (how your earliest relationships affect how you approach relationships) can improve how you connect with others. + how a business is a network of relationships and how we interact in those relationships create culture.  + why we shouldn't avoid conflict and ways we can better manage it in a diverse group.
