Difference shows us in all shapes, sizes, colors, accents, languages, cultures, classes and backgrounds. So how do we want to be with that difference? In this episode, Ronnie Ndlovu discusses ways we can normalize and acknowledge our differences and use them as an asset for collaboration. After all, if we were all the same, where would innovation, learning and creativity live? Across the episode Ronnie and Katie cover a range of topics including the impact of intolerance, rank and privilege, working with different languages and accents, building empathy and leaning into edges.
