In this episode, I talk to Faith Clarke, an Organizational Health and Inclusion Specialist.
Our conversation was rich and we covered A LOT of ground, including but not limited to:
- How leading through a crisis can teach you to be hyper-present
- How to get to know and take care of yourself better, as a leader
- How to hold collective space and honor rhythms, energy, and needs (yours and those of others, in life and at work)
- How inclusion starts with us
True diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) has to be flexible. And, it has to include us first.
Faith suggests that we start doing the work by asking ourselves: who's not allowed to show up IN ME in this space?
From there, we can start to work outward--building that muscle at micro-levels (in our families and on our direct teams). Faith suggests paying attention to "who is at the party but not dancing."
For all the good stuff, you'll have to LISTEN IN. I enjoyed this conversation immensely and know that you will too!
