Throughout the ORGL program, we (students and professors alike) came together to collaborate and learn about leadership. In coming together with a shared vision, we created a space for exploration, [[reflection]] and [[generative dialogue]]. Dr. Conners described the space as "charged and safe." > [! definition] Charged > There is expectation, there is excitement, challenge, anticipation, and sometimes frustration. > [! definition] Safe > There are protocols and agreements in place to enhance everyone's willingness to be vulnerable and take risks - to ask for help, admit an error, or express a different point of view. Although this Brain Forest is my personal [[digital garden]], I view it as an extension of that collaborative space that is charged and safe for [[dialogue]] between different ideas and viewpoints. --- ## Sources Conners, D.

We define truth as a continuing dialogue about things that matter conducted with passion and discipline.
