This week, we are excited to welcome an exceptional guest, Suran Dickson, whose life work is to raise awareness of Diversity and Inclusion and support leaders to take action for authentic, happy and productive teams. 

Suran offers us a gentle yet powerful way to navigate challenging conversations that acknowledge the human experience. 

Points covered

• Why we feel uncomfortable about this subject and the neuroscience behind it.
• The importance of learning to lean into awkward spaces 
• The difference between banter that bonds and banter with barbs ( that hurts) 
• The 3 Cs Strategy  - Be curious ( ask questions from a place of care), Be committed ( not just a one-off insight after a workshop - integrate into your life) ) Be courageous ( take action, speak up) 
• The power of forgiveness and the invitation to walk alongside people on their journey.
• Be the person who creates inclusion for everyone.

2 weeks ago we did an episode that looked behind the scenes of the Womens Football World Cup and how the women involved need to double down on their resilience for games played off the field. When the Spanish team took to the winners podium, the President of their Governing Body grabbed the Spanish Captain, held her head with both hands and kissed her on the mouth. He said it was consensual. Jenni Hermoso said it was not. Local and Global outrage unfolded and finally 3 weeks after the final ( in the day we planned to record this episode) the Spanish federation issued an apology to all its shareholders and fired the victorious Spanish Coach, The President is still refusing to resign and as of today ( one day after recording) Jenni has filed a complaint against him for Sexual assault. 

Points covered: 

• Why we need to talk about this and not ignore it 
• How do we use this public and now global situation to increase dialogue within our teams on personal space and appropriate touching in celebration settings 
• What to do when your boundaries are crossed.

In this episode, we explore a situation where a leader with positional power asks to be updated in a meeting because they are too busy to come prepared. The team member leading the meeting did what they were asked to do, felt terrible and now seeks alternative actions beyond the stronger words they had in their mind! We share several strategies to deal with this specific situation. 

Points covered: 

• Culture is your set-up for success tool. 
• Deal with trouble spots you know of in advance and be direct.
• Be careful of what behaviours from leaders you tolerate   
• How not to summarise and what to suggest instead 
• How trust, presence and emergence can be your friend
• The ‘Apologise and Let Go’ Strategy or the Rocky Strategy ( Corina’s dog) - change your position and go to sleep on the floor
