InflexionPoint Podcast: Cultivating Change from the Inside Out

Enter a brave space to ponder solving The Cairo Question. Engage in dialogue based on the premise that dismantling racism goes beyond laws and legislation or politics or economics. It's an inside job where personal transformation and accountability impact social change in multiple dimensions: individual, interpersonal, systemic, and structural. It's a place to get comfortable with deconstructing your inner thoughts, ideas, and beliefs to examine what flows out into the world through your words, actions, and behaviors, particularly towards others who are different from yourself. http://inflexionpointpodcast.com

Two Different Meanings of Empowerment: You’ve probably heard the word empowerment your entire life. We hear it in leadership programs, self-help books, professional development, coaching, even politics. And usually when people use the word, they mean something very specific.
Most empowerment models are built around one central idea: Helping a person increase their ability to achieve desired outcomes. Em...

This deceptively simple, yet powerful critique of how capitalism commodifies identity and reduces our roles in society to economic functions rather than human o...
