In this episode Dr. Gaye Lang and Teresa de Grosbois discuss:

• Staying curious and having a learner’s mindset 
• Valuing people’s differences 
• Tolerance should be a priority 
• Being committed to tolerance 

Key Takeaways: 

• Being open to learning will help you in the long run, no matter where you are. Such is the case for diversity, equity, inclusion, and tolerance. You need to keep an open mind and stay curious, never letting yourself fall into the mindset that you know everything there is to know about a culture or environment. 
• Valuing people for being extremely different from you will open up a whole world full of possibilities. No matter who you are, you’re not immune to making mistakes so when you do, apologize. 
• Tolerance should be a priority, not an after-thought. It has to be on the agenda of your meetings and events. You have to keep talking about it and keep asking questions. 
• Being committed to tolerance isn’t about being perfect and saying all the right things all the time, but being able to catch yourself when you make a mistake and make an effort to behave better in the future. 

 

“The more I dive into this conversation, the more I realize I don’t know and I just have to keep being curious on the journey. I just have to keep asking questions and I have to accept that I don’t know what the heck I’m doing most times and I need to keep asking because every environment you move into not only has different needs but also different opportunities.” - Teresa de Grosbois
