In this episode of #InVinoFab, Patrice and Laura are joined by a repeat guest (ep. 31), Kristin Roe, to talk about anti-racism education. We get real and talk about what diversity, equity, and inclusion work is -- and how to talk and really dig deeper into these issues. Instead of blaming the system or structure or event, we discuss how we recognize how our own whiteness, power, and privilege is only reinforced on the regular. This episode is not meant to be a checklist, but a way to challenge all of us to “get in shape” to have these awkward conversations. Some of the anti-racism work is not just a checklist, book, or training -- get comfortable with getting uncomfortable, get ready to reflect and unlearn, fumble & stumble as we move from education into daily practice and action.

Back in April Laura was joined by Michelle Miller for a conversation for the #InVinoFab podcast to talk about how online teaching, learning, and life looks like. Much of this discussion has a great deal of relevance for where we are as we enter into the 2nd and maybe 3rd wave of COVID-19. We discuss how to deal with finding our productive selves, identifying feelings how our work life has changed, reflecting on going “online” + family/personal impacts, support/needs for moms, how to be less “remote” and the hobbies/reads that bring us joy.

In this #InVinoFab episode, Patrice and Laura unpack what it means to bring care to work. Burnout and emotional labor has been something we’ve been having to deal with over the past few weeks, months, and year(s). As the US elections wind down and the pandemic lockdown restarts here, we thought it would be good to talk about how we deal with burnout and care in the workplace. Will this culture of care we are seeing now at work be sustained? How are you supporting yourself and others to avoid burnout? It’s definitely a time for some real talk, and figure out what care means for us and our peers.

Here are a few things mentioned on this episode:

• Hysteria episode: “Clapping & Crying”
• Shout out to all who supported this election + the folks at VoteSaveAmerica.com
• Now Is a Good Time to Take Care of Ourselves episode from HBR’s Women at Work
• Stuck-At-Home Moms: The Pandemic's Devastating Toll On Women
• Throwback to 2017: ‘Ugh, I’m So Busy’: A Status Symbol for Our Time
• NPR Life Kit: How To Harness The Power Of Emotions In The Workplace
• Future of Work Trends via Gartner
• Post-Election Therapy with Esther Perel via Sway
• Going Back to Work episode from HBR’s Women at Work

Are you a mom who is struggling with all the pandemic has thrown at you? Do you want to talk with us on a future episode about the realities and realizations for your personal/professional self? Reach out -- we’d love to have a conversation and have you on the podcast!

Suggestions for implementing care into your workplace:

• Regular 1:1 meetings
• Group/Team Check-ins (not a meeting)
• Planned socials or events virtually 
• Making time and the space to talk about things beyond tasks & routines
• Block time off to do things you need: eat, walk the dog, exercise, etc.
• Take control of your calendar
• Find joy with your peers
• Reminder to take time off -- staycations FTW!
• Find time to step outside
• Move yourself -- walk, dance, run, yoga, or whatever!

Stories (TV & Books) Mentioned:
- No Hard Feelings 

- This is Us

- West Wing

Cheers!

Welcome back, #InVinoFab friends and listeners! We are glad y’all are tuning into the @InVinoFab podcast, as we talk about the season of change we are in… yay for transitions!

This episode was recorded in mid-October, so we are not talking about any political transition or evolving events. There’s actually a lot that is changing in our own lives and a reason why we have not put out an episode in a while: Our season of transition includes: changing jobs, moving houses, how we work, and what it means to be remote, but not so distant or in-person meetings with the people and communities we love. Here are a few things we talked about in this intro the the season episode:

• Microsoft & 20 Major Companies Remote Long-Term plan
• Mary’s Place (transformed Amazon space) 
• Women in the Enterprise of Science & Technology (WEST) organization
• Why Zoom Fatigue is Real… And How to Combat Zoom Fatigue
• Table Topics
• Coach Training 
• The Artist’s Way

We hope to talk about a few issues this season and we’re welcoming new guests! Do you want to talk about any of these issues? If so, let us know!

• Burnout & Compassion Fatigue
• Moving to Remote Work, Teaching & Learning
• Endings: Are you graduating soon? What now?
• Job Search & Hiring in a Pandemic
• New Jobs & Leadership Responsibilities 
• Onboarding in Remote Working Times
• Future Plans: Dreams, Goals, & Retirement
• Antiracism Education
• Learning 
• And of course, wine!

There’s been a bit of radio silence from us on the #InVinoFab for a while, and that’s been intentional. We wanted to spend the last month listening, learning, and unlearning -- so you didn’t need to hear from us. Both Patrice & Laura want to make space and amplify other voices. We can learn so much from others and we want to be candid in how we show up and look at “feminism” more broadly in our personal and professional lives. 

A few reflection questions we are thinking of these days: 

• What memories do you have about what your family taught you about diversity?
• What childhood experiences did you have with people of different cultures?
• What does it mean to think of feminism when it is paired with gender identity, sexual orientation, class, race, economics, culture, and more? 
• How are you thinking about equity and inclusion lately? 
• What are you doing to impact or change any privilege you might possess?

On #InVinoFab episode no. 64 we are joined by Cordelia who shares her lived experience navigating transition in her personal and professional life. We discus identity, visibility, and trans workplace inclusion. 

Cordelia does assessment in the higher education space. As a part-time Ph.D. student, she hopes to research at the intersections of employment and the trans identity. As a trans woman herself, Cordelia navigates the world as a digital native hoping to breathe some authenticity into an oversaturated space! She is Sagittarius sun, Gemini Moon, and Aquarius rising and is looking for your input on her charts! Cordelia enjoys video games, DnD, and a nice Rosé!

We had a deep talk about what it means to transition and the impacts it has on you personally, professionally, and socially. I am grateful for the real talk and open conversation on what it means to actualize yourself as a woman. We discuss privilege, loss, career search, individual expectations, the “norms” in society, and her personal lived experience as a trans woman in the world today.  And, we are reminded that: “Visibility is a person’s own journey.” ~ @SheCordelia

On this @InVinoFab episode we bring you a timely conversation in light of the evolving situation and events due to the Coronavirus. We have a digital roundtable all about going remote, that is, what it is like to transition to remote teaching, learning, students support, and work in higher education with @ Katie__Linder, @jeffjacksonTX, & @bonni208. Based on the issues we are all facing to prepare, we decided to come together for a purpose to reflect and share about the state of things and how college and university institutions might prepare as they shutdown face-to-face operations and encourage everyone to move online. We talk about a range of plans, support, and strategies to be implemented and how we are “doing the best we can” as COVID-19 impacts our campus communities. 

Advice to take care of yourself, family & work team:

• Take a walk or go for a run
• Get outside for fresh air
• Keep a full-nights’ sleep & rest
• Meditation: Apps to try?  Calm, 10% Happier (free), & Headspace
• Eating healthy
• Get silly & social with those at home
• Clean your house
• Ask who needs help – childcare, tech support, etc.
• Read books
• Relax from your typical routines 
• Keep to your fitness routine
• Enjoy the quiet/down time now
• Just breathe
• Show gratitude

How do you ensure your remote plan to go digital is accessible and does not exclude anyone? This might be remote teaching, learning, student support, or work for your staff/faculty. How are you preparing for these potential barriers and needs to accommodate your campus stakeholders?

• Closed captioning for Microsoft Streaming for Teams
• MS PowerPoint present with live-captioning or subtitles
• Zoom Setting: Auto-record transcript (option for paid version) timed side-by-side OR use Zoom closed captions
• Need to adjust course deadlines & radical flexibility for learning expectations
• Trust Your Learners! Pivot to Online: A Student Guide via @slamteacher
• Grading Considerations: Is pass/no pass an option for your course? At your campus? 
• Rely on the resources at your campus for support & suggestions: instructional designers, accessibility office, librarians & more!
• Do what you can & know you’re doing the best you can right now
• Phone tree system with team to check-in, share information, & answer questions
• What if Someone Gets Sick: plan & design courses 1 week ahead of time; set up a buddy or “on call” system
• Email: Online teaching with the most basic tool from @tanbob
• What if the technology or remote ____ plan fails? Do the best you can and think about how you might need to shift to some alternative solution
• Be transparent and open with your communication – inform them the best you can!
