In today’s episode, I dive deep into why we must speak up as leaders.
This episode was hard to create. I’m not gonna lie to you, the honest truth is that I’ve been at a loss for words.
Just like most people around the world, I’ve been utterly devastated by the murder of George Floyd.
I’ve also been painfully aware of the fact that I’m a white privileged woman, hyper-educated, and immensely biased due to my own mental constructs, trying to speak about racism and privilege without sounding like a total tool.
I firmly do believe that my role is not to lead this discussion in any way, or to see myself as a spokesperson for people of color.
So what I’ve been struggling with is to find a way of contributing to a discussion that matters, without taking away from those who need to be heard.
My goal is for you to understand why we must speak up as leaders, I want to invite you to step up your game as a leader, as a professional, as an entrepreneur or as someone with a voice of reason, demanding action and accountability and using the power you hold to.
YOU'LL LEARN
- How you bring awareness to your biases and mental constructs that limit how you operate, how you lead and how you live.
- Why there is a huge privilege of being hyper-educated and how that privilege can deeply bias your perception of the world.
- Why you start by questioning your own mental models first and get really rigorous around your own biases.
- The importance of understanding that we are tremendously biased and looking at the world from a place where we can’t see what we can’t see.
- What it truly means to lead with empathy and deep understanding.
- Why this is the time to step up your game as a leader, as a professional, as an entrepreneur, and as someone with a voice of reason, demanding action and accountability, and using the power you hold to.
Always educate YOURSELF.
