Bring Your Whole Self To Work

In response to the killing of George Floyd and the subsequent protests that have erupted throughout our country, I have noticed my own tendency to want to blame others or simply check out and go numb.  While these are understandable reactions, they are not helpful or healthy.  On today’s show I talk about how we can avoid these traps, and explore some ways we can stay open, curious, and engaged - even if we feel scared, angry, confused, or overwhelmed by all that is happening.  This is a time for us to wake up, step up, lean in, and for us to be willing to learn, grow, and change - individually and collectively.  We’re all in this together.   Resources:Killer Mike speaking on May 29 Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on May 29 Black Lives Matter 75 Things White People Can Do for Racial Justice GoFundMe Campaign for George Floyd’s Family Anti-Racism Resources How to Be an Antiracist (book), by Ibram X.
