By now, you've heard some of the maligning, anti-DEI rhetoric in the news, media and different public spaces that are gaining traction around the nation. In this episode, our hosts discuss a number of the contexts they are experiencing anti-DEI language and walk through the meaning of a new acronym touting Merit, Excellence and Intelligence (MEI) as the way to focus attention and resources, in the way DEI can and has.

Whether a first or long time listener, you know the power of words and their meanings within the work of Seven Focus, and as such, you can go back and listen to a number of episodes with great examples - just like this one!

Call it what you want (DEI, JEDI, etc.), our world, our societies, just need to treat each other better. Like human beings. With so much hurt and harm, so much loss of life, it seems like the most logical answer to it all would be to humanize each other so we can see the value of people we know and strangers in other places.
In this episode, our hosts discuss why it's so hard to humanize each other, and while one tragic loss of life is a catalyst of this conversation, we recognize there are so many more names to be said and stories to be told.

Seven Focus has seven Ways of Being:
Reflective of Self
Awareness of the Present
Curiosity Over Certainty
Culturally Agile
Transparent
Heightened Consciousness of the Past
Diffuse Power and Privilege, Centering Historically Marginalized Identities

In this episode, our hosts define Cultural Agility, as opposed to the ever popular 'cultural competence'. One of the more easily measured Seven Focus Ways of Being, these two have proven what can happen when learning about self and others leads to great impact.

Add what you learn about Cultural Agility to the rest of the Ways of Being and see if any of the concepts are a part of the work, organization or communities you're a part of. This is just a part of a larger conversation, stay tuned to learn where this Way of Being can be helpful to your moving from intent to impact
