Episode Highlight: On this episode of the Embracing "Only" podcast, we are featuring one of the most impactful moments from episode 64 with guest Shiva Roofeh. Do you value your work experience and education over your lived experience in corporate spaces? Shiva is here to tell you why you shouldn’t.

 Shiva is a culture creator and learning design specialist. She's worked at all levels of organizations, from director to individual contributor. In her personal life, she has been a refugee, an immigrant, and a migrant. Shiva says that her lived experience is as valuable as her work experience, and she leverages both to create mile-deep change and relationships with and for her clients.

This episode is just a short snippet that highlights the best and most powerful learning moment from a past episode. You can listen to the full episode (filled with more wisdom) here: Episode 64: Cultural Intelligence in Corporate Spaces.


Key Discussion Points:

00:59 Embracing Cultural Intelligence:  Cultural intelligence is about understanding your paradigms. What are the deep-seated beliefs that structure your understanding of the world that then lead to your behaviors?

04:35 Valuing Your Lived Experience in Corporate Spaces: Your lived experience is as valuable as your work experience and your education. It is a unique perspective that informs your work.

06:50 Understanding Your Origin Story: You are the only person who knows the full depth and nuance of your story. Take the time to understand it and give yourself credit for it.


In Summary: Shiva Roofeh encourages us to embrace our unique lived experience in corporate spaces. She urges us to take the time to understand our own origin stories and realize just how valuable they are to informing our work.
