All humans deserve to feel a sense of belonging in their work environments. This is not only an emotional and social issue but also a straight business issue. When people do not feel comfortable, they struggle to bring their best, causing performance and outcomes to suffer.In this episode, I (Kyle) and Julie Kratz, the Founder and Chief Engagement Officer of Next Pivot Point, discuss the necessity of allyship both for the individual and for businesses.“Don't all humans deserve to feel a sense of belonging in the work they do for 40+ hours a week?

Julie Kratz is the Founder and Chief Engagement Officer of Next Pivot Point. She is a highly-acclaimed TEDx speaker, author, podcast host, and inclusive leadership trainer who led teams and produced results in corporate America. After experiencing many career “pivot points” of her own, Julie started her own business with the goal of helping leaders and their organizations to be more inclusive through allyship. Next Pivot Point works to promote allyship and inclusion in the workplace to make sure that everyone feels seen, heard, and belonging at work. ​ ​Julie was raised by her single mother. From a young age, her mother always told her that her purpose in life was to help women. As Julie started her career in the corporate world, those words kept replaying in her mind. After twelve years of the “shenanigans,” as Julie refers to it, she was done with corporate life. No longer could she tolerate the lack of inclusion, lack of belonging, and having to stuff herself inside a box where she did not fit. In her early thirties at the time, Julie kept thinking, “Your purpose is to help women.” ​ ​Opening the door for Next Pivot Point, Julie focused on gender equity in the workplace. This was before people were talking about DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion). Julie continues to help people of all backgrounds feel included in the workplace through facilitation, writing books, speaking, and coaching. ​ In this week's Work From The Inside Out podcast, follow Julie's journey and work: Julie recently started a nonprofit organization, Little Allies, which develops programs for educators, parents, and caregivers about how to be more inclusive and talk with children about inclusion. Her books include Pivot Point: How to Build a Winning Career Game Plan, ONE: How Male Allies Support Women for Gender Equality, Lead Like an Ally: A Journey Through Corporate America with Proven Strategies to Facilitate Inclusion, Allyship in Action: 10 Practices for Living Inclusively and a children's book Little Allies.

This week, Lucinda is joined by Julie Kratz, the Founder and Chief Engagement Officer of Next Pivot Point, created to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, to discuss the topic of allyship - supporting people who may be different to us - and why it's a crucial part of not just advancing culture in the workplace, but in society as a whole. KEY TAKEAWAYS Allyship and inclusive leadership are very similar, and are not concepts that we can simply switch off outside of the workspace. They are a state of mind and constantly active. There are nuanced differences between regions. Progression upon certain groups seems to be more advanced in different places, such as gender inclusion in Scandinavia. As leaders, we must empower those around us. Find the allies who are passionate about building awareness and give them a voice in your organisation. Making mistakes is natural. What we have to do is admit errors when they arise, apologise, and treat them as learning opportunities. BEST MOMENTS 'There's no on and off switch for allyship' 'Allyship is to support folks who are different to yourself' 'There is so much complexity to those conversations that we've given air time to' 'Instead of going to a reactive response, think about it as a learning opportunity' VALUABLE RESOURCES The HR Uprising Podcast | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher   The HR Uprising LinkedIn Group How to Prioritise Self-Care (The HR Uprising) How To Be A Change Superhero - by Lucinda Carney HR Uprising Mastermind - https://hruprising.com/mastermind/   www.changesuperhero.com www.hruprising.com            Julie Kratz - https://nextpivotpoint.com/who-we-are/ ABOUT THE HOST Lucinda Carney is a Business Psychologist with 15 years in Senior Corporate L&D roles and a further 10 as CEO of Actus Software where she worked closely with HR colleagues helping them to solve the same challenges across a huge range of industries.

One World in a New World with Julie Kratz - Author & Chief Engagement Officer, Next Pivot Point At 8, Julie heard a riddle that presented a stark difference in what she considered to be normal. She speaks to how her home life affected her world view and started her quest toward diversity and inclusion activities. How cognizant are we of what is happening around us? How do we process the self-awareness of developing the 'radar' Julie speaks of in the growth and understanding of life. How much of your language do you 'genderize' in your conversations? Can you change it to be inclusive? How often do you pay attention to your language? Are you observant and able to monitor the pre-thinking of what you are about to say? Do you hit the pause button first? Are you aware of the micro-expressions Julie mentions? The blame and shame game is still prevalent. How do we change that? Julie posits we still live largely in a competitive framework that holds a scarcity mindset. How might we change that to a thriving mind flow instead? What are the micro-expressions that bind us, still? Is it surprising that the rate of burnout is so high with people who work in the diversity and inclusion fields? How can the 'freshness' of the excitement in service be retained? Julie mentions there is nothing innate in our biology that we are in any way 'against' each other, yet our society promotes a different message. How do we unlearn what we've been taught? We dip into talking about history. It's obvious today that history is incorrect, or at least marginalized to a great extent. Victors and the wealthy controllers of the media flow in its myriad forms still write history. Even doing our own research may not be enough, though it does bring questions about the truth of it. How might we see things differently in life in order to provide a more positive impact for ourselves and others? Julie feels engaging young people in the conversation is more important today, not to diminish the importance of older others. The hard-wiring of of our brains is still malleable in younger generations as well. There's much more valuable information shared in this apocalyptic chat. It's all about the questions we ask and the conversations we have that make a difference in the world, one at a time.

A new study from Boston College and the Society of Human Resources Management tells us that 65% of organizations believe DEI is important, yet 63% give little to no resources to DEI. This doesn't surprise me. In my conversations with organizations, I find many who see DEI as an HR or L&D initiative. In other words, recruitment, and training. There are many DEI actions that can be taken that cost minimal external resources, such as policy changes and building inclusion nudges into process documentation. I'm a big believer in the 360 approach – beyond HR and L&D, which is why I wrote Inclusive 360 and built our assessment tool. Here's a beautiful example of how an organization (this one with A LOT of resources!) can become Inclusive 360.Last month, the David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center in New York reopened after major redesigns. The building was built on land formerly known as San Juan Hill, a low-income Black and Hispanic neighborhood with 7,000 families. That neighborhood was razed years ago as part of a racist “urban renewal” initiative. To correct historic wrongs, 42% of construction contracts for this massive redesign went to minority and women-owned businesses. They launched a robust training program, helping three dozen new construction workers get union cards. Lincoln Center itself increased its leadership diversity, with about 50% of leaders who are women and BIPOC. Finally, the debut concert for the reopening was a pay-what-you-can show called “San Juan Hill” celebrating the music and culture of the old neighborhood. All of this matters because it shows a 360 approach to equity and inclusion. A holistic approach is what's necessary for true equity.More good vibes I found this week:2.

How do we become active allies in our organizations? Today's guest on the Talent Magnet Leadership Podcast, Julie Kratz, shares the answer with host Mike Sipple Jr. Julie is an Inclusive Leadership Trainer, highly-acclaimed TEDx speaker, the founder of Next Pivot Point, and the host of the Next Pivot Point Podcast. She has spent her career helping women create their winning career game plan. In this must listen conversation, Julie gives valuable insights about why leaders need the skill of active allyship to lead their organizations well. More leaders are educating themselves on the issue of diversity and are taking active roles in unlearning a lot of the biases they may have had. Organizations are being actively engaged in the work of diversity and inclusion. “The word ‘active ally' is really important because sometimes if we just show up when it's the flavor of the month, we give the impression that this is a one and done conversation… [and] that we're not really there for people that experience hardships that are underrepresented in the workplace and marginalized more than others,” Julie remarks. [3:09] For leaders to put the resources into action and ensure the people they employ feel valued and understood, they need to be including everyone in the conversation. The more people you can bring to the table, the more you can get them to connect and appreciate differences because everyone has a unique experience. [6:22] For a team to respect and value everything about the people in a room, a great deal of unlearning and unpacking biases needs to occur. Personally reflecting on your own experiences and realizing that a lot of the messages you were raised with were inaccurate is important. From the business perspective, if teams don't mirror the communities that they serve then they're going to lose out. [14:07] Leaders and teams have to do self discovery work to reckon with where they've been, where they want to be and why it's important to the mission of the organization. If you do diversity work without that, you're doing it without any connection to it, or any emotion behind it. [15:52] 80% of the ally journey is education. People can't know how to solve a problem if they don't know what the problem is, or if they don't know the problem exists. [19:10] One of the most actionable things you can do when you educate yourself is have a conversation with someone different than you. Listen with curiosity, listen to learn and not with the intent to tell them what they need to do. [20:45] Leaders need to align people to a purpose in order to create profound impact. This will also create buy-in where they all know what direction they're going, why they're growing and who they're growing with. [23:30] Conversations about diversity have to be intentional because you can possibly impact someone who's on the fence. “The patriarchy and the systems that support white supremacy don't work if the people that it was built for don't comply; ... that does mean our individual actions truly do matter, because they set a precedent, they set a model for others to follow,” Julie shares with Mike. [28:15] As an ally, amplifying the voices of those who are going unheard is one of the best things you can do. [32:10] Hiring diverse talent but not doing anything to make that talent feel safe or valued is counterproductive. They won't want to stay, or even take the job. Leaders have to be committed to helping their employees feel valued, included, and that they belong. [34:46] Creating a future where people feel as if they belong is important now more than ever.
