Stale, Pale And Male

In this episode, Roger, who has a forty-year career in technology and now specialises in helping organisations create signature experiences, shares his own personal journey to a conscious understanding of his privilege.
He has worked with Kami and Ishreen on the creation of the Privilege Conundrum survey and discusses how as he became more conscious of the issues he became very aware of his own poor behaviour in the past
They reflect on some of the questions and banter that are in reality are an exercise of privilege and explain more positive ways forward
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There is a lot of perception and misperception about privilege but very little data
I set out to prove my own worth with people as I met them throughout my life
I saw the struggle of others trying to make their own way
As I became more conscious of the issues I became more aware of my poor behaviour in the past
It’s a question that provokes a variety of answers linked to individuals' own lived experiences
For people in an underrepresented group, it sends them into trauma
I got a real sense of what it must feel like to be the outsider in a conversation
It’s the exercise of privilege under the banner of banter
 
BEST MOMENTS
‘it’s been a rollercoaster ride’
‘It was something that had a friendly intention that had a barb within it’
