Allyship
Allyship is an important component of helping create greater equity and understanding.
Organizations have an opportunity to take action by investing in and engaging as allies in matters relating to race. Demonstrating care and being curious, driving collaboration and using critical thinking courageously fosters understanding, deepens learning and influences skeptics.
People who think of themselves as allies benefit because they have more frequent and effective conversations with others. This has very important social, institutional and organizational impact.
我们的 ally priorities list was designed in response to employee network/resource group member requests and encourages allies to take a clear-eyed look at the energy and activities that comprise their anti-racism practices.
勇敢的谈话
勇敢的谈话 form the basis for deeper understanding. They challenge us to push ourselves beyond what is comfortable and hear a variety of perspectives to encourage empathy and inclusiveness.
To hold a courageous conversation, it is important to abide by certain ground rules and principles:
基本规则
- 假设积极意图
- Consider your voice important in educating others on our journey to inclusion
- Extend empathy and suspend your reaction to the shared views and comments of others
- 虚心接受理解
- If a perspective differs from yours, lean in, ask questions and seek common ground
- Give leaders feedback that will help individuals, teams and the firm grow
Four agreements of a courageous conversation
- 保持忙碌: Staying engaged means “remaining morally, 在情感上, 智力, and socially involved in the dialogue.”
- 经验不适: 不舒服是不可避免的, 特别是, 关于种族的对话, and that participants make a commitment to bring issues into the open. It is not talking about these issues that create divisiveness. It is through dialogue, even when uncomfortable, the healing and change begin.
- 说出你的真相: This means being open about thoughts and feelings and not just saying what you think others want to hear.
- 期待并接受没有结局: This agreement asks participants to “hang out in uncertainty” and not rush to quick solutions, 特别是 in relation to racial understanding, which requires ongoing action and consideration.
