Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Our leadership team gathered under the umbrella of “PeopleDynamics Learning Group” declare the following:
We stand with our Asian and Asian-Canadian neighbors to Stop Asian Hate and build a stronger, more equitable world for all people. Our shared humanity and our future depends on us fostering a lived experience of interconnectedness based in equality and inclusion, and while we acknowledge that racism against Asians has always existed, it has surged at an alarming rate since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Black Lives Matter. Our shared humanity and our future depends on us fostering a lived experience of interconnectedness based in equality and inclusion, so at this juncture in history it is important to say specifically that Black Lives Matter, as an acknowledgement of the impact of systemic racism on the Black community, which has also erupted as violence against this community too often lately.
We are committing to be an active ally in the quest to dismantle systemic racism and to promote equality, inclusion, and deep respect for the affected communities. We accept that there are many different ways to act as an ally in this quest, and we will continue to be in conversation with one another and the community to discern what actions might serve best.
We reject the racism, intolerance and hate that inspires this violence and unite to lift up communities that are being targeted. We also consider this a moment for reflection on the different ways we can offer support, educate ourselves, and take skillful action towards creating communities that celebrate inclusivity and belonging.
As an organization with special expertise in the art of conversation and fostering meaningful connection and inclusion– one-on-one and in teams/groups – we are committed to finding ways to deploy this expertise in ways that can help us collectively move from where we are to a more equitable, inclusive, and hopeful future. We commit to creating safe spaces for ongoing conversations about race and racism, and the design of processes to help equip more people to have these conversations skillfully and confidently.
A Candid Conversation About Racism
Our community participated in a powerful conversation about the Black experience in Canada, and about the impact of systemic racism on our Black colleagues and friends.
Donna Forde was the powerful voice that shared her experience with us, and allowed us to express some of our pain and confusion and fears and hopes around this topic. Donna is a member of our coaching community and a faculty member of our Business Coaching Advantage Coaching Certification Program™, and has been leading many conversations for leaders about racism, systemic injustice and the Black experience over the last few weeks.
