When I think of Thanksgiving, I think of the big tables we create to accommodate family and friends.

The tables are usually cobbled together from several smaller tables.

In our work, we also think about creating bigger tables. Bringing people together from different organizations, disciplines, and lived experiences creates a richer table.

It may not be easy.
You may have to think carefully about who sits where, but all are welcome at the table.

In this divisive time, we might focus on what brings us to the table instead of what keeps us apart.

Now you: Are you creating bigger tables in your work?
