We have reached the end of season 2 of INCOGNITO the podcast! Thank you to everyone who has listened, left reviews, and shared with others; we have been so excited to see the response to the podcast so far, and hope to keep bringing you helpful insight and tools towards creating a more inclusive society next season. For the final episode of our second season, I reflect on the many incredible contributions this season’s guests have made in the exploration of identity and authenticity, and share my own thoughts and reflections about what it means to understand one’s own identity and the unique journeys we must all go on to reach this point.
Key Takeaways:
- We are either open to the journey of identity and welcome the discoveries or we are closed to it and make it much more difficult
- “The goal of the hero’s journey is yourself. Finding yourself.”
- Each of us come to understand our identities differently; we may share things with others but everyone arrives at their own unique identity in their own way
- The journey of identity is continuous and fluid; the question is how do we share this with people around us, especially in regard to the workplace?
- The more we feel included in our workplace, the more fulfilling a job is and the better people perform
- Set necessary boundaries with others
- People bringing their whole selves to work, particularly in a diverse workplace, is beneficial at every level
- Ask questions!
