Sometimes we say things and are unaware of how they impact others, and sometimes comments are intentional. Regardless of intent, microaggressions can drastically impact people emotionally and professionally.  If you've ever experienced or witnessed their impact, you are not alone. But we can be better! If you are willing to understand what they are, talk about their impact and be mindful of what and how we say and do things. Join us in this discussion where we share some first hand experiences and tips on how we've dealt with microaggressions in our personal and professional lives.

Talking about racial inequities can be a touchy subject. But if you want to really understand how to create equity, inclusion, and belonging within organizations, you have to be willing to listen and confront your own biases.  This episode is about why we decided to start this podcast, we mention an article written about the lack of diversity in the HR profession that received some heavy criticism from a few white men, and we put a call out to others to engage in the discussion.  Warning, we do drop a few F-bombs, but our conversations are always real, honest, hopefully insightful, and always with the intent to learn more, understand different perspectives, and help move the needle towards achieving real inclusion.  To comment on this episode or suggest a topic for us to cover, please visit us at http://ftheseat.com/ Thanks for listening!
