In this episode of Theory-N2-Practice, we discuss the vision of “Inversity” with Karith Foster. Don't miss it; it was a great interview! Karith empowers organizations to have conversations about DEIB in a less threatening, more inviting, deeper, and authentic manner. INVERSITY™ is for people genuinely dedicated to elevating the conversation around DEIB because they care about themselves and others whose lives they touch. INVERSITY™ takes the "division" out of traditional DEI programming by offering a genuinely INclusive way to communicate, learn, and create an environment vital to an organization's success. Karith's secret weapon is that she uses humor in her DEIB training. Why? Because humor boosts memory retention. According to numerous neuroscience research, humor stimulates the brain's dopamine reward system, which activates motivation and long-term memory. Karith Foster's experiences are designed to cultivate a sincere comprehension of Diversity INVERSITY™ with the perfect blend of humor, interactive participation, heartfelt stories, and actionable tools.Daniel Scott Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielscotttn2p/https://theoryn2practice.com/ Karith Foster Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/karithfoster/ https://inversitysolutions.com/ This is a public episode.

Karith Foster is a comedian, speaker, television and radio personality, actress, author, and entrepreneur. In this episode, we are talking about identity and doubling down. When we attach so heavily to our identities, we can easily get lost in details that might not be as important as the feel at the moment. Our identities are things we really hold dear, but we are always changing so much it is hard to even pin down an identity. However, in our world, today, being attached to an identity can be seen as pretty important, and that has really kept many people from accepting change. For those of us who have experienced addiction, we have all stood by our addict identities when it may have been easier to relinquish that identity. Where else do we do this? How can we approach our identities as fleeting and ever-changing? There is the 5 by 5 rule which states if it won’t matter in 5 years don’t spend 5 minutes being upset about it. Karith has graciously invited Recover Yourself fans to take a perfectionism assessment at www.karith.com/quiz On Dec 30th you can attend her Give Yourself the Gift of G.Y.S.T. (get your shit together) https://www.karith.com/seminar.html Learn more about her Inversity Solutions training for institutions and Corporations www.InversitySolutions.com Get her book You Can Be Perfect or You Can Be Happy https://www.amazon.com/You-Can-Be-Perfect-Happy-ebook/dp/B089G8JM9P/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 And definitely support her non-profit organization: F.R.A.M.E. (Foster Russell Alliance for Meaningful Expression) www.FosterRussell.org Questions for groups: Where did you double down before you sought help? What in your life are you still doubling down to save? Although growth is difficult, when we do accept its necessity, we find strength and the ability to continue to grow. What has acceptance, and a more fluid idea of your identity, offered your life? We may have definitions, and preconceived ideas, about sober people. What are yours? How did those ideas keep you out there? How are they continuing to dictate your recovery? As my work suggests I am always looking to recover myself completely and my aim is to help others recover themselves. I see a client for a total of 4 sessions which is designed to launch self-directed lives and separate us from the constant draw of codependency. These start with my doing a portrait of my client. The portrait is an intimate experience, these open a vocabulary to trauma and are healing. This process is not for everyone and if you are not ready I will not work with you. It is important that you are ready to step into yourself and stop playing a victim cursed by things around you.

Often the only person of color in her childhood classrooms, stand-up comedian Karith Foster spends a lot of her time speaking at universities such as Stanford and Oberlin about taboo subjects in a constructive way. She hates labels and the boxes they can put us in, which is why her take on diversity training actually focusses on “INversity” – meaning inclusion and introspection – mixed with a healthy dose of humor. In this episode, Karith talks about what it was like to transform a hostile audience in a jam-packed hall at Oberlin into one welcoming of different perspectives. We also discuss her work as an on-air radio personality on the controversial Don Imus In the Morning show following his comments about the women’s basketball team at Rutgers University and her appearance in the documentary “Can We Take a Joke?,” which garnered support from strange bedfellows such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the Charles Koch Institute. Karith believes firmly that people from across the political spectrum have good ideas, and the fact that “just because you are not on that side does not mean you shouldn’t think it’s a good idea too” is “insanity.” Unsurprisingly, in Karith’s words, she often feels “like a political alien.” We hope she felt right at home here at Sanity!

New York-based comic Steve Marshall plays all the big clubs across the country. He's been featured on national television platforms such as CBS News and CNBC, plus Hot Off the Grill With Bobby Flay and NBC's Dare to Dream. Riffing relentlessly on topics such as his negative Jewish family and why one should never make fun of Chinese people who work in a Chinese restaurant, Marshall's no-holds-barred approach will have you laughing and gasping in equal doses."THE MARSHALL PLAN - Bad behavior makes for good comedy."That's the way the Florida New Times described Steve's comedy."Marshall's style relies on a sharp mind and a complete inability to properly behave himself. Nothing too controversial, just a little good-old-fashioned honesty."RATED H FOR HONESTY.Steve doesn't behave, he tells the truth.After graduating with a degree in accounting Steve turned down a job with Price Waterhouse to follow his dream and become a comedian. By day he taught accounting, business law , math and psychology at a vocational business school. He told jokes and made accounting fun. His misbehaving got him promoted to Dean.By night he went to open mics and learned to make people laugh.One day he was picking up his dry cleaning and teasing the woman behind the counter, she smiled and said "behave" and Steve found his comedy voice.Steve takes the stage announcing proudly "I'm not here to behave" and proceeds to speak honestly about sex, ethnicity, love, and the lack of respect for women,gays, minorities and even men. That's right, men get disrespected too!The results have been amazing.Steve has appeared on network and cable tv. NBC,CBS, the Food Network have all featured Steve being funny.Steve has been seen cooking and cracking jokes with Bobby flay on Hot Off the Grill and stealing the date on Blind Date. That's right. We told you Steve doesn't behave for laughs.His high energy and broad smile made him a perfect choice to warm up tv audiences for ABC's The View.A strong writer Steve has written monologue jokes for the Late Show With David Letterman and is the head writer for a new dvd coming out called Extreme Comedy.Steve is a recognized film director. He wrote and directed Academy Award Consideree and Long Island Film Festival Winner "Get the Script to Woody Allen". Steve is currently directing "Driving Me Crazy" starring academy award winner Mickey Rooney, and Renee Taylor , Josepy Bologna, and Dick Cavett.Steve is one of the top comedy and acting coaches in America. He has coached Lisa Lampanelli, Lisa Landry, Karith Foster, John Diresta and Tommy Savitt.Recently Steve performed his totally clean comedy act at the Borgata Hotel in Atlantic City and the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas. He got a standing ovation at the Funnybone in West Virginia performing his Double R rated act .Steve also performs a one man show in theaters called "Nobody Told Me". Time Out NY reviewed Steve's show and called it "genuinely funny."Genuine, passionate, honest! This high energy comedian,actor,writer,director, will make you laugh about real life with the fun of a party where no one behaves. hence Don't Behave is my philosophy for finding one's true self. Steve discovered if I broke patterns and paradigms I behaved more naturally.Simply walking to a familiar place in a different route opened my subconscious to spontaneity. The next step or evolvement is transcending.Knowledge becomes the diving board to bounce on and inspire one to dive.On stage I am diving into the unknown, using different approaches as a diving board to propel me.The same in my personal life.The personal becomes the diving board for my stage performance and the stage performance becomes the diving board for my personal life. Therefore on or off the stage I Am Me.

Hosts Sheryl Matthys and Karith Foster talk to Thy Cavagnaro, pet parent to Atka the Eski. As a Vietnamese political refugee in 1975, Thy fled Saigon, barely a toddler, with her family of five and dog on one scooter. Although the dog was not allowed to continue the journey to America, her family was never without a pet of some sort. Thy's love and passion for animals was evident from the very beginning, unwavering even when she was severely bitten in the face by their Basset Hound as a small child. She was always the person to show an innate understanding of animals, gained the most trust from them, and enjoyed teaching the family pets how to do tricks completely of her own accord. Thy & her dogs have been featured in books, newspapers, blogs, video and on national TV, for Animal Planet's "Dogs 101" series.
