In these deeply divided times, where we’re expanding our awareness of the ways we’ve contributed to inequity and injustice, where social media enables a lightning-fast game of “telephone”, where assumptions are made based on optics, and where calls to “cancel” someone can take place of relational engagement… the fear of being called-out can be gripping.
If we aim to embody our leadership…
We don’t want to react like a little animal backed into a corner.
We don’t want to accidentally (let alone intentionally) cause harm.
But when we don’t face the fear of being called-out, we become fragile instead of resilient...
We hide and keep ourselves small and quiet, because we don’t want to risk causing harm or receiving negative attention.
We become rigid, self-righteous, and defensive, because deep down we can’t handle being wrong.
In this episode, I share:
- How we can build resilience through receptivity (which doesn’t mean being open to abuse)
- The difference between calls for accountability and attacks, and why we ought to discern the difference, even if we don’t like how communication is being delivered
- How I “sort the mail” on communications, as a way to discern how I want to respond
- Why it’s crucial to remember that we have sovereign choice over how we respond
- What we need to consider about right-relationship, after the dust settles
