🚀 THE CONVERSATION with Social Psychologist and Author Dr. Robert Livingston - Full Length Release (March 2023) 🚀

The NEXT Academy

Today we are diving into an important Conversation - How Seeking and Speaking the Truth about Racism Can Radically Transform Individuals and Organizations. In this episode we are afforded the incredible opportunity to have Dr. Robert Livingston (Social Psychologist, Author, Lecturer) join us to discuss the science underlying bias and racism. How can you become part of the solution? In the wake of the social unrest of 2020 and growing calls for racial justice, many business leaders and ordinary citizens are asking that very question. This book provides a compass for all those seeking to begin the work of anti-racism. In The Conversation, Robert Livingston addresses three simple but profound questions: What is racism? Why should everyone be more concerned about it? What can we do to eradicate it?

For some, the existence of systemic racism against Black people is hard to accept because it violates the notion that the world is fair and just. But the rigid racial hierarchy created by slavery did not collapse after it was abolished, nor did it end with the civil rights era. Whether it’s the composition of a company’s leadership team or the composition of one’s neighborhood, these racial divides and disparities continue to show up in every facet of society. For Livingston, the difference between a solvable problem and a solved problem is knowledge, investment, and determination. And the goal of making organizations more diverse, equitable, and inclusive is within our capability.
Livingston’s lifework is showing people how to turn difficult conversations about race into productive instances of real change!

Dr. Livingston joins NEXT Academy Co-Creators Chad Jones & Cody Phillips as they discuss “The Conversation” and pull out leadership lessons that they feel can help contractors create a competitive advantage by utilizing Livingston's framework.
