[Music] [Applause] with everything going on across the globe with reminders of just the institutional racism and racial injustice really need to be able to come together and one of the ways of doing that is to making sure that we understand how to listen to each other how to understand each other and how to empathize with each other seek to understand others realities and i'm noticing a difference it's hard it's hard to do but it's extremely beneficial this company at the leadership level believes in this topic and wants change and if you are a strong believer in global citizenship then you're a strong believer in diversity the learning for me was that the definition of ally requires a lot more action it's more of a verb changing the mindset from what happens if i do step in to what happens if i don't i think that's what helps one to being a great ally because it's about building a relationship i'll need to challenge my own biases and assumptions my biggest kind of takeaway is this notion of solving for one but benefiting all like actively seeking out people with different abilities ideally create an environment that's inclusive for everybody and where everyone feels like they're heard and they can contribute and i think it moves us to think more deeply about what our responsibility is for our actions listen to some of the challenges that are out there creative ways of attacking some of those challenges and then being able to incorporate that back in our day-to-day lives to build the operational framework that we need to really sustain the change that needs to happen this journey has told me that that i can do better leaders managers need to be more human in order for you to win no one else has to lose and so i'm aiming to be more than just a better manager i want to be a movement starter [Music]
