What did I just bring into the room?
Game-changing energy.
See, when we show up in a workplace, when we come to have these types of conversations, we have to have some good energy. So how comfortable are you with talking about race? Being uncomfortable allows you to evaluate your heart and self-reflect and make the commitment to engage in an active racial reconciliation. Just imagine for a moment that I come into your workplace and I say, "Woo! Let's have witty conversations! Yeah! Woo! Let's have witty conversations! Are you ready?" Hi, I'm Kenston Henderson, Chief Empowerment Officer of Live With Life. Listen, I'm here to ignite, inspire, and empower you to live with life. Repeat after me: I am a game changer. When I show up to work, I change the game. See, many people enter into conversations, think that they know how to have winning conversations, but they really don't. And so what I want to do for you, if it's okay, can I give you the recipe? Well, Kenston, what if I don't see anything? And that could be the case, that you don't see anything because you're the only one looking at it.
What made it great for me was the fact that the Speaker was authentic and real. He was definitely relatable.
Don't you think it's about time that we stop sweeping stuff under the rug? It's time to pull the rug up and do some real cleaning. Made us have difficult conversations as a team about racism. You know what, go ahead and say, "Goodbye comfort." Goodbye comfort. "Hello courageous." Hello courageous.
