What are the nuances of privilege and influence? How identity shape our paths and our leadership style?

Building on last month’s insights on power, I break down how privilege can enhance our ability to make an impact — and why it’s not simply about “having” privilege, but how we use privilege that matters. I dive into the concept of intersectionality, highlighting how our experiences and backgrounds uniquely affect our perspectives and decisions.

Drawing on lessons from my book Evolution to Equity, I share stories of creative resilience and the importance of recognizing all facets of identity. I invite listeners to consider the net impact of “shrinking” versus showing up fully through the lens of intersectionality.

Listen in as we unpack these powerful themes and explore the role privilege plays in shaping our influence. Be sure to subscribe for more insights, and join the conversation as we reflect on privilege, identity, and the impact we leave on the world.
