What can happen when we take the time to actually talk about the challenges that we're experiencing at work, the way that we're feeling, the things that we're experiencing, and ways that we can do it differently? 

We need to bring forward the experiences that we’re told, implicitly or explicitly, that we shouldn’t discuss if we want to make progress.

Damion Taylor joins Erica and India to discuss how we talk about challenges at work.

In this discussion:

• Why discussions of DEI need to go beyond the theoretical
• How zero-sum games keep marginalized people from pursuing collective action
• Why we need to be okay with asking for help
• Why we have to play to the gray areas in order to improve workplace culture

Conversations are the cornerstone of connection and change. When we learn, unlearn, and support one another, we can become part of creating equity and impacting the world in a positive way.

Pause on the Play®, the Community is a space where people who are seeking to change the world, to learn from each other, and to reconsider their normal come together for conversation and accountability.
