In this episode Dr. Gaye Lang and Eduardo Briceno discuss:

• Having a growth mindset as a way to learn tolerance 
• Improving through collaboration with others 
• Giving people grace to ask you questions 
• The role of leaders in tolerance 

 

Key Takeaways: 

• Having a growth mindset is key to developing an attitude of tolerance. You need to start with the belief that you can change and that you can be better. 
• Receiving feedback from others, taking it in and committing to change is the best way that you can constantly improve. Being able to be humble enough to receive feedback will take inner work and self-awareness. 
• Give people the grace and space to ask you questions. If they don’t ask questions, approach them and point out what you’d want them to know. You can’t grow if you don’t see anything else, you have to be able to see other options.
• Leaders must be the first to step up in the journey towards growth in the area of tolerance. They must set an example and walk their talk. People follow the leader and the members see if the leader is being genuine or not. 

 

“We have to do self-work. That’s really important. We also can collaborate with others to grow together because other people can help us see what we don’t see. Learning on our own, learning with others and helping others to learn.” - Eduardo Briceno
