Hacking Privilege With Jag Bassi Part Two

In part two of the interview with Jag Bassi he shares great tips on how to hack privilege and explains why in the imperfect world we live in there are hacks that can make a difference in creating relationships and building affinity with others
In a polarised society, individuals can be reduced to a single dimension of identity but identity is complex and multi-dimensional and can be used as a tool to build relationships with others and Jag discusses with Kami and Ishreen how this can be achieved in this fascinating episode
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS
When you mirror someone’s body language you are communicating that you are the same
Believe that you belong, the more you believe you are an outsider the more you will be perceived as an outsider
You don’t have to define yourself to fit into an identity
A sense of belonging is key
The way you speak is more important than the way you look
Speaking appropriately for the environment you are in is imperative
Ensure that you recognise that the language you are using carries meaning
Your words can be a wedge that open doors for you if you have chosen them carefully
Good organisations recognise that it’s about getting the best people on board
The route to success is compassion for both those who do and those who don’t have privilege
 
BEST MOMENTS
‘Believe you belong there more than anyone else does’
‘It’s about finding the sweet spot and to do that you need to listen’
‘Words are one of the most powerful mechanisms people have at their disposal’
