Episode Notes

Neil discusses how words get in the way of advancing justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion efforts. He uses the old childhood rhyme “Sticks and Stones” to highlight the error many were taught at an early age. In this episode he uses two scenarios to outline harmful and unproductive behaviors present in J.E.D.I work and invites leaders to be more relationally intelligent in their interactions in service of advancing racial justice.
