While many business owners want to do business differently, there is no one-size-fits-all checklist for building a business that supports collective liberation.
But there is plenty of shame, guilt, and expectation around how to do business. Yet shame and guilt can actually stifle our growth and perfection is neither a reasonable goal nor expectation.
Jeffrey Shiau joins Erica for a conversation about building a liberatory business, what it means to honor your capacity and the humanity of your team, and why we need to reclaim pleasure and care as we work toward liberation.
In this discussion:
How small business owners’ identity and values are impacted by white supremacist, patriarchal culture
Why we have to let go of shame and expectations of perfection for ourselves and others
What it means to honor your capacity and the capacity of your team
Why we need to re-humanize our business relationships
