“Where there is no vision,
there is no hope”
George Washington Carver
At Bright Places, we believe in exposing and dismantling workplace cultures that hurt people; not to blame anyone but to uplift everyone.
We believe we can help create healthy workplace systems that uplift and expand talents, bring financial success, and foster happiness. We understand that work cultures in the US and across the globe can and have marginalized and caused the most trauma for women, black people, and all people of color, creating and fostering environments for xenophobic behaviors and diminishing contributions and values of LGBTQ+ people.
We are working to eliminate these dynamics.
