Erika and Leticia unpack the depths of their pasts and uncover the stories that shape who they are. As leaders, we invite you to reflect on these questions: 1. Who am I? How do I identify? Who and what that might relate to that identity have I not seen? How did it benefit me, or my family, including my ancestors not to see or recognize such things? Which stories of my family of origin have we chosen to remember and which have we chosen to forget? 2. To whom do I belong? To whom did my parents belong? What is it that tells me I belong to my family? What does it feel like to know that I belong? Among whom of my ancestors might have been left behind or forgotten? 3. What is your work to do? How have I been complicit in and benefited from systemic othering? What would I have to give up that I love that might make me feel safe and I belong so that others might feel the same way? How might I create systemic belonging for others? Whose stories should I be listening to?

Wisdom for Work #17 - The Power of Retrospectives: Learning From the Past To Shape the Future
Retrospectives play a crucial role in building resilient teams. As organizations face constant change and uncertainty, having a regular ritual of collective learning provides stability and a sense of groundedness. It allows teams to adapt, innovate, and address challenges more effectively. In this episode, Andy walks through a simple framework called: What? So What? Now What? This framework is useful in both successes and failures. It helps us discover, collectively, a shared perspective of what actually is happening or has happened, what learnings, patterns, and insights are emerging, and in light of all of that, what are the next best actions to take?

#167 - From Isolation to Openness: Engaging Fully with Real Life - with Sharon Salzberg & Jerry Colonna
When confronted with the realness of our lives, how we choose to respond matters. It’s no easy feat to turn toward suffering when the world around us gets messy. However, when we open ourselves to love, we create a current of empathy that can lead us, and others, to community, connection, and healing. In this episode, our friend and teacher Sharon Salzberg returns to discuss her latest book, "Real Life: The Journey from Isolation to Openness and Freedom". Sharon reflects on how her COVID experience helped shape the book, and she shares how she found inspiration and connection in unexpected places during that time. The pair consider what it means to truly engage with real life, and explore the transformative potential of embracing challenges with courage, love, and openness. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!
