21. Courageous
Conversations
Scenario One:
You have overheard a rumbling that one
of your team members is making the
majority of the team uncomfortable
because he is continuing to ask their
opinions on the fact that, as he says, “All
Lives Matter” not just “Black Lives
Matter”.
They’re saying he gets upset if anyone
doesn’t agree with his perspective.

22. Courageous
Conversations
Scenario Two:
You walk into the break room and
find a group of team members in a
heated discussion about immigration
in the United States.
At first, the conversation is simply a
sharing of different opinions, but
quickly deteriorates to sarcastic
comments and ridiculing.
