Value through Vulnerability podcast from HEXO Change

“The whole dynamic of the workforce I was in (corporate) did not have this connection and that people mattered” – 01.20 - 

“It’s not just having a job, its contributing to something that matters and when we have that meaning attached to how we contribute, there is a different impact and energy that we can create” – 02.15 - 

“Action circles are about moving from insight to impact no matter what that is for you” – 06.50 - “We get to better, together” – 10.30 - “How do we get to connection if we don’t go through vulnerability?” – 11.30 - 

“Getting back to who we authentically are rather than who we think we need to be or who others may want us to be. How do we remove the layers of life to get back to who we have always been” – 14.35 - “I get curious about what we are not hearing rather than what we are” – 25.50 - “What if we are all perfectly abnormal?” – 34.35

This was the first recorded truly hue-man conversation that has been created by myself and HumansFirst founder Mike Vacanti as we seek to develop regular, sustainable conversations around intentional inclusion by design, especially around systemic challenges such as that around race.

- “What bothers me a lot is that I hear, in business in particular, ‘we are rational decision makers.’ If that were the case, there would be no need for diversity quotas, no need for quotas around women, none of that stuff would exist. Let’s get real, get honest and get truthful into what are we really doing to insert bias into our decision-making and how can we collectively design things better so we remove it” - 04.45 Dawna

- “Inherent in coping with complexity is the requirement for diversity, diversity of perspectives, diversity of world view at a global level, and putting all the pixels of the picture into the environment” – 06.50 Dawna

- “Recognise that we need everybody’s views together, divergent as they are, so we can converge on something that benefits everyone including the life support systems that we require to survive” – 07.20 Dawna

- “America is forced with a situation right now that even when you have rules, if there is no way to enforce them, individuals will do what is expedient. I think without teeth, almost nothing matters when you put in writing as there will be other individuals that will not adhere” – 08.30 Raphael

- “I am hesitant to say this but all of my younger relatives are taught to have a one button push to get video & audio on their phone right away, it is just what we do” 15.35 Raphael

- “It never dawned on anyone that I would be doing anything but sexually assaulting this woman in the middle of a mall, at lunchtime. That is not uncommon to me.  - Raphael

- “What’s worse is that I have interviewed people and when my supervisors found out that I interviewed them, they would literally call that person and say “did he attempt to touch you?” and the person would go “no, why?” and I had to sit there and listen to those types of conversation. Dehumanisation really does not describe the feeling it really doesn’t” - 19.35 Raphael

“Having the human at the centre of everything, for me, is the only way to go forward” -02.55 Deborah - 

“Change out of necessity is good, change out of responsibility and accountability is better” – 16.25 - Rhys 

“Does it really how to take that long to change? What if you just get the right people in the room and start from the beginning” – 28.00 

Deborah Deborah and Rhys can be contacted via the following means: Deborah  - https://www.linkedin.com/in/theleadershiptrainer/ Rhys - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhysthomastruself/ Deorah bio: Leadership facilitator and Champion for High-Performing Cultures My vision in life is to serve others by empowering them to step into action and transform the way they show up for the benefit of themselves and others. My passion to serve others stems from my two fundamental values: Growth and Connectedness. I honour these by accompanying others on their (learning) journey and helping them connect their dots. Yet no-one operates in a bubble. Like someone said to me once: Workplace culture is to people what water is to fish. Not long ago, I was a very hard-working and dedicated fish in a polluted organisational culture… Until I hit burnout: I was showing the very symptoms that I would speak about at my workshops, to enable leaders to recognize how toxic leadership and managerial styles can impact their people. Until Burnout is seen as a key organisational concern and a leadership responsibility, high-performing cultures will remain scarce in our Western culture. Rhys bio: I help Leaders and Business Owners reconnect with their truSELF to realise their true potential and optimise their teams performance through the principles of Conscious Leadership; Connection, Cultivation, Communication, Curiosity, Caring, Co-Creation and Community. Utilising EQ, SQ and Mindset we can work together to actualise your truSELF. By creating the right environment with incisive questioning, generative attention and the principles of deep listening we can identify and transform those limiting self-beliefs in to liberating ones and empower you with self-worth and self-awareness. Learning to focus on the present moment and to always lead with your heart by putting kindness, compassion and gratitude at the forefront of everything you do lifts you and those around you. By committing to a practice of daily personal development, becoming aligned with your core values, unlocking your superpowers and learning to always take intentional action, you will soon be achieving your true purpose! That is when you are one with your truSELF.

- “There is something wonderful about the quietness at the moment. I am actually feeling really positive about the future as we were in desperate need of some kind of shock, some kind of jolt. It is a pandemic pause and we need pandemic patience and passion. I know that the world can be a better place than it was”

- “The challenge I believe (as we emerge post-crisis) is that we all have a different view of what that might be, and that is what we have to explore”

- “You are not leading to control; you are leading to manage the music. There is a give and take, a questioning listening and questioning and contribution”

- “As soon as I started thinking I will go wrong I went wrong”

- “One of my dreams is to ask different groups ‘what is your imagined magic-wand future with no conditions to now or the past?’” – 39.10

- “I was doing very well on paper, I had it all, had the cushy job making good money travelling the world, had all the perks that came along with it, but I just wasn’t happy with life, I wasn’t fulfilled with life, I felt like I was going through the motions” – 1.40

- “Today I help men in business not only transform their lives, but also their businesses as well” - 04.20

- “Men everywhere are looking for leadership.   When men step up that is when things will change” – 07.10

- “A lot of times men identify themselves with what they have, their position, their business and for a lot of men that has been wiped out and it has been wiped out overnight and that is testing who they truly are, their identity” – 16.50

- “My kids teach me a very tough lesson on occasion. They will ask do you care about your work more than you care about us?“ – 19.15

- “There are two parts to that. Initially, being able to get guys to drop their shield early on in the first couple of conversations is the toughest part. Later on, there is another realisation, that’s almost the spiritual realisation. The first is more logical, the second is more spiritual. They are more than a bag of skin and bones; they are a source of energy” – 34.20

- “The topic of power is so misconstrued; power is not a bad word. It is not about control, it is about being that source of energy that they (men) need to live a fulfilling live. It can also be in the feminine state to connect with other people, put their guards down, to be vulnerable” – 35.35

“There was a lot of surrender to what is, a need to refocus on the things that I could control like just showing up and to reframe the situation as I couldn’t change reality, but I can change my attitude to it” – 06.45 

- “When you can't change what is happening around you, then the last power left to us is to choose our attitude (ref: Victor Frankl)” – 08.35 

- “The beauty of curiosity is that it helps us be less attached to any particular outcome” 

– 12.40 - “Think about what we want to carry forward. Which pieces of luggage can we put down and leave behind? What are the values that we really want to embody going forward, both individually and collectively“ – 14.15

Bio: Roz Savage is the first (and so far only) woman to row solo across the world’s “Big Three” oceans: Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian. She holds four Guinness World Records, and was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire for services to fundraising and the environment. It was an unexpected career move for a former management consultant who doesn’t particularly enjoy exercise. She was inspired to brave the oceans when she realised two things: 1) we are all capable of much more than we tend to believe we are, and 2) we need to make some changes if we're going to live healthy lives on a thriving planet. So she used her voyages to expand her own limits, and to promote sustainable living. She now writes, speaks, and lectures on sustainability, courage, resilience, and change.

Mike and I had a wonderful conversation with inclusion specialist Jo Lockwood.

- “I decided about three and a bit years ago that I needed to make a change, so I not only made a change of career, I also took the opportunity to gender transition at the same point. I came out of that with a passion for inclusion, belonging and trying to make the world a better place” – 2.10

- “As I got to the world around the HR and D&I space, I realised that it is not just about me or people like me, it is about everybody. Everybody has a need for greater belonging, to create an environment where everybody can thrive. I have expanded my thinking to be inclusive of all people” – 3.10

- “Show your workings out. If you just show your answer and its wrong, you have no evidence of how you got there. Don’t just tell me what you think, tell me how you got to the point of what you think” – 28.30

- “Rather than have D&I as a bolt-on, I wanted to turn it on its head and put inclusion at the heart and everything else bolting into that. Everything should have an inclusion lens” – 30.10
