007: Christian De Leon: Tolerance And Training In The Workplace And In World


Listen Later

Christian De Leon has worked as a social worker for over 8 years, she has worked with hospice patients, people with disabilities, and school-age children. Christian’s experience has taught her that everyone requires assistance at some point in time in life. The goal is always to find ways to bridge gaps between the communities and available resources. Her social worker model is: support, advocate, and educate. 

 

In this episode Dr. Gaye Lang and Christian De Leon discuss:

  • How intolerance limits the success of organizations
  • The antidote to intolerance 
  • Understanding the difference in another’s perspective 
  • Leading the way into a safer and more tolerant workplace 

Key Takeaways: 

  • If tolerance isn’t trained, taught, and enforced, the success of the company will be limited, no matter what company it is. 
  • The antidote to intolerance is tolerance. Sometimes, this means that you have to be patient and tolerate people who display intolerant behavior. Find a common ground and build a relationship. 
  • Everybody looks at a situation with different eyes because of their experiences and backgrounds. Just because they are different from us doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. 
  • Leaders have to be the one to engage and initiate in the workplace when it comes to safety and tolerance in the workplace. 

 

“Change is never gonna happen if I just cut off the relationship because they don’t agree with me.” - Christian De Leon
