Opening up opportunities: A conversation about advocacy and stories.
In this episode, I am joined by Thomas Wilson, owner and CEO of R&H Creative Advocacy, to discuss the power of shared storytelling and its role in creating psychological safety and celebrating neurodiversity.
Thomas shares his passion for using sensory-friendly settings and inclusive storytelling to empower underserved communities. We unpack the mission of R&H Creative Advocacy, which focuses on advocacy through shared narratives that embrace mental health and cultural acceptance. Our conversation explores practical steps organizations can take to design event spaces and experiences that accommodate diverse sensory, physical, and emotional needs.
We also devote time to the importance of empathy in leadership and the shared responsibility we all have in building more compassionate, accessible spaces.
This episode offers valuable lessons for leaders looking to foster psychological safety and celebrate the unique perspectives within their communities.
