Every individual on a team contributes to the team environment. What can you do to make sure the environment is supportive and not toxic? How can you continue growing yourself? How can you support the people "behind you" on the allyship spectrum move further along?

Your coworkers want to be treated like individuals. Without realizing it, you might be making your coworkers feel tokenized and othered. These small pains add up over time, becoming large pains.

There is a lot of talk about pronouns lately, and that's great! This starts a conversation, but there's so much more to identities around gender and sexuality. How can you be an active ally?

“That’s the way we do things here” isn’t an inherently good or bad phrase — but the social rules underlying it might support or thwart your goals.

Your personal wellbeing is too important to neglect. "We all need somebody to lean on" at times. Who can you ask for support? How/when can you ask them? How can you make sure they are okay with helping? How can you ask for the specific support you need? Even if you can answer all of these questions, applying those answers is the hard part. It takes practice!

It's so much easier to give feedback than it is to receive it. By using empathy, you can help the other person be prepared to receive what you are trying to communicate to them.

Everyone contributes to culture. Your actions have a substantial effect on the culture of your organization — whether you realize it or not.
