Representation is important, toward the end of our conversation Al tells a time when an executive once said to him: “If I could ask you a favor, next time you’re in an event like this and you come across someone who looks like you did at the beginning of this event, please do what you can to make them feel like they belong.”

We also dig into self-awareness, internal and external and how it impacts the way we interact with the world around us.

It wasn't until after he moved to a new country and others started asking how to pronounce his name that Michal realized others might find it important. In the first portion, we talk about respectful pronunciation of names, and if we can extend this respectful use to names - why not pronouns as well?

When it comes to team building, some think the pub is the place to be. But that's not the best place for everyone. In the second portion, we talk about creating belonging through team building that isn't just drinking the night away.

In this first episode, Justin introduces the Creating Belonging model and a bit of the story behind its creation.

The Four Areas of the Creating Belonging model:

Recluse: We are withdrawn from the community. We mask much of our own identity and don’t respect or appreciate others’ identities.

Overbearing: We only respect our own identities and values. We assume everyone else views the world the way we do. We’re not aware of how our presence impacts others.

Minimizing: We mask our own identities to allow others to shine. We undervalue or hide our own identities to make others comfortable.

Belonging: The right balance of authenticity and acceptance. We actively encourage others to present themselves authentically. We confidently show up without fear of rejection.
