Intentional Conversations with Abi Adamson
Welcome to Intentional Conversations, where we intersect diversity, equity, and inclusion with leadership and business.
This week we welcomed Abi Adamson to Intentional Conversations!
So, grab your headphones 🎧, press play, and let the conversation begin!
** Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to our channel because we're all about keeping the great conversations flowing. **
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Being a DEI consultant was born out of survival.
- In the US we can see the problem, it’s not visible in the UK.
- Black people are not allowed to be less than.
- Allyship is like “brushing your teeth”. It is a muscle you have to train all the time!
- Everyone has some kind of privilege.
- Allyship and micro aggression - all the ism’s flow into the same river.
- You will never combat microaggressions if you have no concept of the privilege that you hold.
- One of the reasons leaders aren’t doing what they need to through being invested in equitable practices is the notion that vulnerability says you’re weak.
- Leaders that will say “I don’t know”, I can work with them.
- Leaders need to unlearn that confrontation is bad. The level of toxic niceness will be the death of everyone.
- Toxic niceness is worse than being passive aggressive.
- Healthy conflict is something we don’t value and appreciate as much as we should.
- Just ask the question.
- Organizations need to understand that DEI isn’t a tick the box exercise, you will always have people... be proactive, rather than reactive.
