157: Let's Talk Everyday Inclusion: Avoiding Microaggressions and Using Pronouns with Carolina Reese
A microaggression is an action or comment that reminds people from underrepresented groups that they are different. While microaggressions may be unintentional, we must be mindful of where we are microaggressive to correct that behavior.
And while some people think they aren’t being offensive, that, by its very nature, is what makes the microaggression offensive. For middle managers, it’s vital to lead by example and create a team culture where everyone is respected.
Carolina Reese is the Head of Learning and Development Services at The ReadySet, a boutique DEI consultancy. Carolina and John talk about what microaggressions are, what it means for professionals to be fallible, and the importance of using preferred pronouns in the workplace to help build stronger communities.
