Intentional Conversations With Vince Pierson | Ep. 16
It was an honor to welcome Vince Pierson to Intentional Conversations. We learned so much and hope you will enjoy this encore presentation of his live vodcast!
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
1. It is easy to see why powerful figures, in sports for example, are seen as inspirational.
2. You can experience peace when you go to work and go home, but when you voice your advocacy and use your agency it is often at the sacrifice of your own peace.
3. We all have something to gain by paying attention to what’s happening in the sports space.
4. If sports is not your forte, then leave it on the bench! However, if it does make sense it can be a unique way to lean into the conversation around DEI with unifying topics, but it has to be organic.
5. The new decision on student athletes receiving compensation is a step in the right direction for equity for all.
6. As practitioners we struggle with having clients at the expense of negative news, but our goal is to be intentional about what changes can be brought forth, so we condition ourselves to be supportive.
7. If we’re not careful as entrepreneurs, we can find ourselves losing sight of the cause. It is important to redefine our purpose and how we can challenge the ways our leaders in this space are thinking about the work.
8. It is important to be mindful of how we define good and how we define impact. There is a difference between activity and impact.
9. As DEI practitioners it's beneficial to think about how you can create things that are not reliant on partners who don’t show up to the table.
