The Five Habits of Speaking Justice are a powerful framework.
We teach them in our workshops, in our online course and in our programs.
They are a set of fundamental social and emotional skills and are building blocks for engaging in difficult conversations and assessing progress in the specific areas each one represents. They revolve around using ones voice and listening to others. They are not meant to be practiced in a particular order. They are meant to support awareness and efficacy at speaking up for justice.
