Episode Synopsis
When you heard about the hate march in Charlottesville, Virginia how willing were you to talk about it? Did you discuss it at work? Did you discuss it with others who are different than you? Did you consider how your personal history influenced your views? This week I explore the topics of gender, race, and diversity. I reflect on the privileges afforded to straight, white males, and how being aware of those privileges may be the key to unlocking empathy and compassion for others. Key Takeaways: [1:38] Reflecting on my Open Letter to My Fellow Straight, White Men. [5:50] Being aware of privilege and difference can open up the door to empathy.

[27:08] How much do you cover your authentic self?
