JEN FRY TALKS ISN’T SCARED OF HARD CONVERSATIONS

Jen Fry, the blogger behind Jen Fry Talks, does not list her credentials, or her profession on her blog. This is not a “mommy blog” — in fact, we know little about Jen Fry’s life outside of her opinions. The point of the blog is not to learn about Jen, but to spark a conversation, one especially close to Jen as a woman of color — a conversation about race and sex in America.

Jen has no problem being provocative in her writing. The title of one of her posts, “Dear White People, Shit or Get off the Equality Pot” is what drew me to her blog. It’s in your face, maybe a little divisive, but it’s hard not to want to read more seeing a title like that. The blog is actually one her least focused, a generalized call to action in response to no specific event, but to centuries of racism and passive behavior from so-called progressive white allies.

Before You Plan the Retreat, Name the Problem

As I close this season on retreats, I want to go back to the beginning. Before the agenda, the activities, or the team dinner, leaders need to name the problem the retreat is supposed to solve. In this blog, I talk about why purpose matters, what it means to define resolution in behavior, and how to design a retreat that helps people work differently when they return.

The Retreat Conversation Is Not the Finish Line

A retreat can help a team name what has been sitting under the surface. But if nothing changes afterward, people notice. I’m unpacking why “we talked about it” is only the beginning, and why real repair has to keep going once the team is back at work.
