Tell It Like It Is, Joe

Monday, February 22, 2010 - by: Paul Smith
One of the fun things about having a blog is sharing your ideas and beliefs with the world. When someone does a better job of explaining a shared belief, it's not necessary to try and one-up their work.  Blogging allows the liberty of taking their work and plopping it into your own blog. Needless to say, one doesn't call it their own. Credit should always be given.

So if you don't know Joe Gerstandt, let me introduce him to you now.  Joe is all over Twitter at @JoeGerstandt and definitely worth following.  Joe writes a blog that interjects positivity into our world called "Our Time To Act". Joe is a keynote speaker and workshop facilitator.  Over the past weekend, Joe put a short video on his blog explaining the definition of diversity and inclusion.  Because I have a deep appreciation for how he defined each of them, I wanted to share his video.

Well enough out of me, tell it like it is Joe:

Sometimes it's one word that inspires an "aha!" I understand the separate definitions of diversity and inclusion. But, I guess the definitions I heard/used made me think of "differences" as our sets of unique qualities rather than the distance between two points -- the *relational* difference. This sheds a new light on the whole insider/outsider concept when I think of it from the relational perspective. Making the differences relational between individuals, instead of relational between me and the norms of the insider group, puts the heirarchy off balance. I like that:)
