Key Takeaways from Ricardo's Intentional Conversations vodcast:

  1. At its deepest level belonging is about ownership. Its not about a sense of affinity but “is it mine.” When both identity and identification are aligned.
  2. If you don’t have a clear understanding of your own identity, it is difficult to ask others to create that space of belonging.
  3. Sometimes what makes you feel like you belong, might make someone else feel like they don’t.
  4. Empathy is critical, and it must be compassion towards people, belonging is the outcome.
  5. It is hard for any person to show up at their best in any environment if they’re always questioning whether they belong.
  6. Allyship needs to be taken further into mentorship, sponsorship, etc. This reframing is critical. The beginning of allyship is education.
  7. We cant lead people to the highest levels until we know them at the deepest levels.
  8. Instead of asking yourself how you can be more culturally sensitive ask yourself how you can be more culturally skilled.
