Last week’s conversation with Alyssa Hall was so powerful I knew I wanted it to continue.

This time around, we are going to dive into another oft misunderstood topic that is very prevalent in the media.

And that word is Privilege.

Privilege is a word that get’s thrown around frequently and generates a lot of intense emotions.

With Alyssa’s help, we are going to de-construct some of those thoughts and hopefully help you to better understand what it is and what it isn’t.

We jump into a number of important questions to really further your awareness and comprehension of things like…

Why acknowledging your privilege is not an insult or saying your life hasn’t had challenges.

Seeing privilege as an opportunity to include others rather than divide us.

Understanding types of privilege that we may not know exist.

Reviewing some real-life examples where small but impactful moments of privilege have come into play in the lives of Alyssa and Julie.

Learning how we can help society move forward on this issue in ways that are non-confrontational and comfortable.

Once again, I am grateful to my friend Alyssa Hall for joining me for another impactful conversation.

It’s another longer session and I invite you to reflect and introspect.

If you need to break it up into smaller listens, I totally understand.

As I always say, Give Yourself Grace and Know Your Limits.

Today I have an epic episode for you.

I am beyond excited to host my friend, Alyssa Hall, a Corporate Anti-Racism Consultant and Leadership Coach, to the podcast.

We are going to cover a wide breadth of extremely important topics today. Bias- this word has become very charged in our culture and it is often very misunderstood.

What does it mean?

What is it and more importantly, what ISN’T it?

Where do these biases come from?

Is it inherently negative to have a bias?

Is it ok to even talk about bias?

Today we are going to try to cover the gauntlet on this topic and many of the types of bias including:

Unconscious Bias. Confirmation Bias. Affinity Bias. Beauty Bias and more.

We are working through these tough topics and beyond.

And let me be honest…. we are going to get vulnerable and share where even we fail.

Honestly, recognizing where even we, as trained and trusted experts, is part of the way we help the world at large better discuss these topics.

We talk about the guilt and shame that can occur when we try to recognize these faults in ourselves or society.

We talk about setting the boundaries and personal limits on these topics so that you can have productive conversations.

I do want to acknowledge upfront; this conversation might bring out some strong emotions in yourself as you self-reflect.

And this is a longer episode. So, I absolutely give you permission to take this conversation in pieces.

Give yourself grace and know your limits.

But PLEASE do listen to it. Even it takes multiple sessions, it’s a conversation worth having.
