What makes us a ‘Collective’?

A BothAnd Mindset
BothAnd thinking invites us to hold space for multiple perspectives to coexist. While either/or thinking can limit us, a BothAnd mindset opens the door to greater creativity and collaboration by recognizing that more than one thing can be true, at the same time.
Integrating a BothAnd mindset takes practice and intentionality, but with time, it becomes a helpful way to explore differences with curiosity and openness. BothAnd not only inspires personal growth, it deepens our connections with each other.
