Orrett Morgan is a Program Head of the Technology Support Professional Support Program at British Columbia's Institute of Technology (BCIT). Orrett and I know each other offline as his teenage sons participate in the community basketball league that I have the responsibility of overseeing in Richmond, British Columbia. ⁣

Something that both Orrett and I feel very passionately about is creating brave and safe spaces - both emotionally and physically. In this episode, Orrett breaks down the four pillars that he outlines to each of his cohorts in order to engender a brave safe for his students to thrive. I typically derive a copious amount of value from Orrett and I’s offline conversations, and I certainly hope that those who listen to this can leave with a tangible technique, or two, in making the community around them a braver, and safer, space. Please enjoy this episode!⁣⁣
