(Sway Them in Color Podcast) Curiosity, Messing up, and Approaching Diversity and Inclusion as a Leader

Labels make life simple but they provide so many stumbling blocks to truly understanding and connecting with one another. Anyone who leads has big ol' blind spots when it comes to relating to people, groups, and experiences not like their own, and my guest Rebekah "Bex" Boruki and I dive into the many ups and downs of diversity and inclusion, including:  + why admitting your mistakes and collaborating with people who can speak to what you don't know makes you a more powerful leader + how to build empathy and connection when people mess up + why learning about the lives and needs of people not like yourself isn't only imperative but a necessity for thriving  + the difference between diversity and inclusion   Rebekah "Bex" Borucki is a mother of five, TV host, meditation and yoga guide, birth doula, and author of You Have 4 Minutes to Change Your Life: Simple 4-Minute Meditations for Inspiration, Transformation, and True Bliss (Hay House 2017) and her brand new book, Managing the Motherload: A Guide to Creating More Ease, Space, and Grace in Motherhood (Hay House 2019).
