<big>We encourage others to have courageous conversations with their peers. Use the monthly Ask Me Anything sessions as an opportunity to have brave conversations in your workplaces with your teams.</big>
<big>Here’s what you need to do:</big>
*<big>Invite your leaders and colleagues in your organization to an Ask Me Anything watch party, tune in live and watch the session together. Make sure it’s in their calendars.</big>
*<big>Before the watch party, book a “After the AMA – Team Session” with your immediate team for the day after the event for 30-60mins. Share the resource guide and have these questions for discussion.</big>
==='''After the AMA – Team Session Discussion Questions'''===
#<big>What was my main takeaway – expand and share an amazing quote, story or moment</big>
#<big>What made me uncomfortable/ what was one of my blind spots?</big>
#<big>What is an example of a systemic discrimination that I am aware of in my life?</big>
#<big>What am I not going to do anymore?</big>
#<big>How can I use my voice/ influence – both overtly/covertly</big>
#<big>Where am I going to dig in and learn more?</big>
#<big>How will I continue this conversation?</big>
<big>It is important that we find value in the experiences, the unique characteristics of each other. When we develop our cultural competence, we are able to work better together within our teams and respond to each other with relevant empathy and compassion. By celebrating and sharing our authentic selves, we gain a greater appreciation for each other and the diversity that surrounds us.It is important that we find value in the experiences, the unique characteristics of each other.
