The Quest for Gravitas – Ann Carter - Part 2 and the questions I didn’t know how to ask
Ann Carter is the leader people love to follow and if you listened to part 1 you’ll know why. In this episode, we have an open and candid discussion about racism in the workplace. I was reluctant to record this episode because quite frankly I didn’t know where to take the discussion and what questions to ask. I had to be open and honest about that feeling, so I put myself in a safe space with Ann Carter, and we had the conversation. Our intent is to encourage others to have similar conversations and make strides towards eradicating racism. 00:50 – Why I didn’t know what questions to ask 04:59 – The term to use 07:02 – Advice to leaders in the corporate world 13:54 – The conversations white people have 15:19 – Racism, discrimination, and bias 17:38 – The recruiting process 27:38 – The process of promotion 32:40 – Being silent 34:15 – Advice to the younger generation 38:22 – The value of diversity
