Jenni shares her experiences of fostering open communication within her team, emphasizing monthly culture-focused meetings and encouraging active listening. The discussion highlights the importance of vulnerability, respect, and the art of conversation, which they note has diminished over time. They address how generational and cultural differences can create barriers, but assert that mutual understanding and empathy help bridge these divides. The trio underscores that unity requires listening without judgment, embracing diverse perspectives, and modeling positive behavior.
