Transforming Whiteness for an Inclusive Workplace
For their latest C-Crets podcast, hosts Keith Powell and Ricky Robinson invited PeoplesLab founder Dorit Cypis to share insights on transforming whiteness and the workplace. The podcast introduces whiteness and systemic/institutional racism before diving into a conversation about how white folks can become better allies to their BIPOC colleagues.
Dorit introduces the PeoplesLab process as reflective and transformational, guiding people to question fixed notions of identity. She describes how unexamined privilege and white supremacy are toxic for white people, too, blinding white people from experiencing the world sensorially, emotionally and honestly.
Moreover, Dorit offers listeners two “c-crets”:
Racist structures are ancient. They were designed centuries before us, yet, we are responsible for questioning and dismantling them as much as possible.
The PeoplesLab Tool of Engagement T.R.E.E. – T.R.E.E. stands for transparency, reciprocity, equity and empathy — four interconnected aspects of human engagement that lead to more generative relations.
C-Crets is a career advice platform offering career coaching services, online courses and topical content through blogs and a podcast.
Dorit is the founder of PeoplesLab, which provides people and organizations practical and adaptive tools to navigate conflict, uncover psychological blind spots, improve collaboration and foster honest relations.
