Intentional Conversations With Shalynne Jackson & Joe Gerstandt | Ep. 19
It was so much fun to have Shalynne Jackson & Joe Gerstandt on the Intentional Conversations vodcast! They not only are fellow DEI practitioners, but the two of them have a fantastic friendship that has spanned years.
We hope this conversation encourages you!
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
When you’re together with a team of people that you work with, do you feel safe taking risks? Do you feel safe being vulnerable? That is psychological safety.
It doesn’t matter how different our perspectives and identities are if we can’t share them with those around us.
As DEI practitioners, we need space to not have it all together, the world is happening around us as well.
If you’re the leader then you must prove insistently that telling the truth is encouraged, even if it’s a disagreement from leadership. Reward people for disagreeing with you, bad news is valuable information.
Psychological safety is different from safe spaces. Safe spaces are preventing people from injury or harm, whereas psychological safety is having those uncomfortable conversations.
Leaders often don’t realize the impact of their power. There are real and perceived consequences on your actions.
