Transformation and Change Radio with Dr. Kathy Obear: Choose Courage ~ Speak Your Truth ~ Live on Purpose

Join me and Dr. Alejandro Covarrubias, Faculty with the Social Justice Training Institute and Assistant Professor for Higher Education and Student Affairs in the Department of Leadership Studies at the University of San Francisco to ways to engage others to explore and own their privileged identities. We will discuss a wide range of issues, including:

• Why is it so hard for so many to acknowledge their privileged identities?

• Why is it critical that people “own” their privilege?

• What are some approaches that help others more effectively identify and explore their privilege?

• What could be different if most everyone in organizations acknowledged their membership in both their marginalized and privileged identities?

• How could this accelerate creating greater equity and inclusion?

Discussing controversial, difficult topics in the classroom can lead to powerful insights and skill development; yet, too often, these conversations dissolve into unproductive debates and shouting matches, undermining learning and damaging the classroom environment.

Alone, faculty and teachers may not be able to navigate these difficult moments. Yet, if we teach students the skills and capacities to notice their hot buttons, avoid knee-jerk reactions, de-escalate triggered emotions, and intentionally choose how to respond, together, we can turn triggering events into productive learning moments.

Come join me and Dr. Abby Ferber as we explore practical strategies and tips to proactively prepare students to more effectively engage each other during challenging, difficult conversations in the classroom.

Too often, individual change agents push ahead on their own to try to create change without developing the critical coalitions, capacities, and organizational infrastructures necessary for meaningful, sustainable culture change.

While these individual efforts may result in some minor progress, the inertia and resistance of the organizational culture and apathy of leaders will most likely win out in the end. And things will eventually return to the status quo.

It is critical that individual change agents learn to partner in strategic coalition with key stakeholders and other change agents throughout the organization; only through intentional, persistent, collective action will sustainable progress occur.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed, like what we do won’t make any difference in our workplace, community organizations.

Yet it only takes one passionate, skilled individual to spark the energy to get more people engaged, on purpose. 

But it takes consistent skill development and self-work to become an effective leader and change agent in your organization.
