The tipping point for all sociocultural change is only 25%.
Build a Culture of Inclusion
Cultivate Empathy applies social science methodologies to empower organizations to transform their cultures. Build inclusion into the foundations of only 25% of the organization, and it will be the new normal for the whole.
Self-Aware
Self-Aware
Self-awareness is a process that goes deeper and wider the more you use it. Start by asking yourself, “What makes me feel excluded? What can I do differently that would also make others feel less excluded?”
Reflect on how you might inadvertently act or think in ways that reinforce rather than dismantle the normal that needs to change. Make reflection a reflex.
Once you know better, you can do better.
What am I feeling? What am I making it mean?
Is this similar to past events?
What can I do differently next time?
Curiously Care
Don’t assume that any individual is part of the problem; tap into your curiosity and seek understanding of others’ perspectives to build unexpected allies.
Once you know better, you can do better.
Practice curiosity & empathy
- How can I empower them?
- Share a vulnerable story
- How can I make my team feel safer to be authentic?
Curiously Care
Grow the Change
Apologies are limited to displays of regret. Accountability is a combination of regret, responsibility, and commitment. Regret your actions, be responsible for the harm you unintentionally caused, and commit to do better next time. Then actually do better next time.
Practice Accountability
- Ask for feedback
- What are the lessons?
- What is preventing me from trusting them more?
