    Conscious Leadership

    Join Lesley and Cord for a short conversation about changing the name of Diversity Differently to Conscious Leadership. Conscious choice through metacognition is a central part of the leadership education that they provide. The new name isn't just about what they do differently, but rather a central practice of what it takes to lead change. This is a public episode.

  3. Deserving Martin Luther King, Jr.

    Deserving Martin Luther King, Jr.

    Join us for a deep dive into the concept of human value, what it is to feel worthy, and how best to articulate our right to belong with our friend and scholar Maurice Wallace, author of King’s Vibrato. This conversation is perfect for reflecting on an MLK Day when the world feels upside down. What is it to look into our own lives and feel a deep knowing of our right to belong? As Maurice states: “When belonging is a foregone conclusion, then you don’t have questions of deservedness.” Background image: by History in HD This is a public episode.

    Learning without Judgment

    Join Cord and Lesley for a conversation with documentary filmmaker Sheila Marshall. Sheila discusses the power of storytelling through film, specifically what results when we suspend judgment to truly examine another person’s perspective. She talks about her films Right Between Your Ears and After the Flood: The Church, Slavery, and Reconciliation. Both films offer us lessons in guiding people away from the discomfort of cognitive dissonance, exploring what it means to successfully forgive and to reconnect in new ways. This is a public episode.

    Choose Your Own Adventure

    Join Cord and Lesley in a conversation about analyzing stories. They’ll discuss how stories help us heal—and how stories can also become limiting if we hang on to them for too long. Is it possible to choose your own adventure instead? This is a public episode.

    The Story of Your Morning Coffee

    Lesley and Cord are back for season 2, this time focusing on stories. The stories we tell ourselves have power. Even something as simple as a story about your morning coffee is powerful. Why? What can or should you do about this? Join us in a fun and insightful conversation about the process of “storifying” — how noticing your own act of story creation gives you power to change things for the better. This is a public episode.

    Showing Up Fully Without Shame

    Join Lesley as she walks and chats with friend and colleague Burgandy Holiday, LCSW. They talk about what it is to show up fully and how shame might prevent us from doing so. Burgandy is a therapist and equity consultant who encourages identity- and faith-based reconciliation through healing. She discusses what it is to support people in all their methods of healing, including unexpected or taboo ones, like choosing not to have relationships with certain people in our lives.

    The Creative Power of No

    Join Robyn and Lesley in sunny (and windy) south Philadelphia for a conversation about how saying no can creative positive results. They discuss what it takes to identify and set boundaries from a place of non-activation and how we can trust that things will work out, even and especially when we let go of the idea it’s our responsibility to fix them.
