It’s pretty scary to put yourself out there in a world that can feel really divided, but Lovisa Brown, the Executive Director of Extreme Kids and Crew, is proving that we find our way back to one another not through layering on our protective masks, but by taking them off. A nod or smile acknowledges our shared humanity, moments of honesty when we admit that we don’t know all the answers help others feel braver doing the same, and creating spaces for differences to take the lead ensures that we break through the limits of our own experience. Lovisa and her team spend their days looking for ways to create these connections for neurodivergent children and their families, but it’s also the way Lovisa lives and leads in every area of her life.

In this inspiring episode, Lovisa shares her journey of creating environments where vulnerability is celebrated, differences are embraced, and every individual is seen for their unique superpowers. From fostering inclusivity in public spaces to championing transparency in leadership, Lovisa's approach reminds us of the power of human connection and the importance of acknowledging our shared humanity.

1. Create brave spaces, not just safe ones: Encourage vulnerability and open communication to foster genuine connections.
2. Embrace transparency in leadership: Being honest about fears and uncertainties can create a more authentic and supportive work environment.
3. Recognize diverse superpowers: Look beyond traditional notions of strength to appreciate the unique abilities in everyone.
4. Seek commonalities across differences: Focus on shared interests and experiences to build bridges between diverse groups.
5. Practice simple acts of acknowledgment: A simple "hello" can be a powerful tool in breaking down barriers and fostering inclusivity.
