I was honored to recently participate in a podcast discussion on the topic of Implicit Bias and our relationship with language, with the formidable Erica Courdae and India Jackson from ‘Pause on the Play’.

Erica Courdae is a trusted advisor to entrepreneurs and executive teams and committed to shifting focus, power, and resources in order to create more equity in their business and the world.

We had an in-depth conversation on the implicit bias of the language we use.

These were my key takeaways from the conversation:

You can listen here.

You'll learn more about:

• The lifelong process of deprogramming from historically acceptable, offensive language

• How your word choice impacts others

• Cultivating an awareness of cultural and community nuances

• The power of accountability and accepting feedback

• Establishing boundaries around what words or phrases you will and won’t accept

• Questioning word usage and making a subsequent course correction in real time

How can we work together?
