Quotes to ponder:

"The practice of considering a both/and view doesn’t ask that we agree with opposing views, but it does ask us to allow the space for multiple experiences, opinions, and possibilities."

"Paradoxical thinking gives us the opportunity to approach our challenges from different angles instead of one perspective for a deeper understanding and more inclusive resolution."

"What we find when we hold a paradox is that what’s on the other side is insight."
