You Belong Here: How to Make People Feel Safe to Be Their Best, Take Bold Risks, and Win

“You Belong Here” is a statement that every person longs to hear. It’s the assurance that frees us to face our future because others have got our back. It’s also one of the greatest compliments we can receive. It means we are part of a community that celebrates us as one of their own—with all the love and connection that comes with that status.

In a peri-pandemic world where every day brings unpredictable shocks and surprises, the chief role of a leader is to make people feel safe to be their best and take bold risks to win. Safety and risk are not opposites. They depend on each other. People will only swing for the fences if they know they will be rewarded for their courage.

In this pioneering partnership between a renowned professional coach and an acclaimed psychiatrist, Mike Lipkin and Dr. Diane McIntosh take you on a journey to becoming a Keeper of the Safety Flame—that’s someone who creates belonging in a hybrid world, grows enriching relationships, owns their power, wins on the brink, and shows the way.
