The Whole Person In the Workplace

If you listen to understand, hold people’s words, and bring genuine curiosity…it can be a struggle to be heard. If that doesn’t make sense, listen to this episode!

This wasn’t planned to be a two-parter, but like Drake, Vince and Chris are in their feelings about this topic. And so it goes…shout out to Billy Joel. Let’s talk…again!

In today’s mailbag, a reader is skeptical about whether Vince is truly okay with people wearing clothes that seem culturally misappropriated. And, Chris answers a question about a misconstrued comment by Ben Crump. And…there’s other questions we’ll answer. Dig in.

A judge in Beverly Hills has just mandated affordable housing. Two D.C. schools from ‘different sides of the track’ may be blending students. In both cases, people are upset. Should they be? What are they upset about? How do Chris and Vince see it? Let’s talk.]

Sometimes, Chris and Vince just like to geek out about why they are so smitten with facilitation. This is one of those times.

Music genre's. Clothing created by people of different cultures. Basketball and baseball. Cultural appropriation has been a hot button topic, and some people see it as a legit issue. Others see it as much ado about nothing. Let's talk about it. 

Understanding that “the best” is a subjective determination, there’s still a push to remove some and uplift others for reasons that are not solely tied to artistic or athletic merits. Are these important pushes or do they push away the credibility of the awards? Let’s talk.

Chris and Vince speak with relationship therapist and DEI facilitator Carise Rotach to walk through the litany of articles and engagements around polyamorous relationships; to include the criticism and support they yield. This should be interesting!

In this mailbag, Chris and Vince answers questions about how a cult could not be bad and what we think about Kevin Hart suggesting that award hosting gigs are not safe for comedians. Also, we’ve been asked why we haven’t discussed reparations and what our thoughts are about them. Whew, let’s go.

Both the military and police fields are struggling to find and retain talent. And, people from all sides of the political aisle are expressing their support or, at the very least, understanding of this trend. This, even as these same people couldn’t be further apart when it comes to their feelings and talking points on the matter. Let’s discuss those feelings and talking points through a broader societal culture lens.
