🧠 QUIZ: Are You Creating a Safe Space - or Just Floating With the Current?

Dive in naturally - no awkward bubbles, just connection.

Nod politely but float away from the topic quickly.

Freeze like a sea cucumber - unsure if you should say something supportive.

Deflect with a wave and hope the current moves things along.

Surface immediately - name it, explain it, steer the ship back on course.

Drift past it now, then circle back later.

Laugh nervously, try to change direction.

Sink into silence - it’s easier not to rock the boat.

“How can I make this coral reef feel like home for them?”

“Let’s skim the surface and see if anything deeper comes up.”

“Stick to the checklist and avoid deep dives.”

“Please, Poseidon, let them not get personal.”

Clear frameworks, bias checks, and open channels.

A mix of gut feel and what’s worked before.

Who swims the fastest or “just fits.”

Who you’d want beside you at the tiki bar.

“Thanks for sharing that - I’m glad you felt safe with me.”

“Cool!” (…awkward pause… next topic)

“Doesn’t matter to me.” [Torpedo launched. Conversation sunk.]

A full ecosystem change - not just surface-level shifts.

A guest speaker and some colourful coral.

Rainbow cupcakes and sea creature stickers.

A ‘🏳️‍🌈’ emoji and a vague Slack post.

Missing something important - but you’re ready to adjust your sails.

Having to overhaul the whole damn vessel.
