How can we “walk our talk,” when talking about Equity feels so polarized?
Isn’t it politically risky?
These questions can make us feel personally and collectively stuck.
Polarization is palpable in our culture. It can be intimidating and it brings out the worst in us all, making communication seem futile. It’s no way to have a productive conversation.
“Polarities are things that our brains are wired to perceive; but Polarization is the state of being stuck at one end or the other, with no acknowledgment of the rest of the spectrum.” — Rita Venturini
Skilled facilitation allows us to learn to listen deeply to ourselves and each other — to acknowledge a range of perspectives without locking one another in to the polarized ends. We can respond with more than compliant conversation or tough talk, instead getting to a dialogue of connection and co-creation. A dialogue is fluid and can “get” us toward the right side of history. Dialogue releases everyone from concrete stances that lend themselves toward “getting political.” Embody Equity offers you this skilled facilitation in several customizable ways.
