Leaning into Discomfort and Vulnerability to Create a More Just World with Tanya Williams

Summary

This week, I welcome Tanya Williams (she/they) to the show. Tanya is a consultant, coach, and social justice educator working to help people step into authentic leadership and empowering them to create a more just world. In our conversation, we talk about the importance of creating safe spaces to grapple with issues of identity and power, and the need for unlearning societal narratives that divde humanity. In this thought-provoking and insightful conversation, you will also hear more about:

• How leaning into discomfort and vulnerability is critical to dismantling systemic opression and building a more just world,
• The importance of identifying and unlearning disempowering societal narratives and internalized opression,
• How systems of opression distract us from recognizing our shared values and humanity,
• The deep connection between committing to our inner work and stepping into authentic leadership, and
• The difference between authentic and "positional" leadership.
