The Tension of Identity

For moments where identity impacts the dynamic—even when unspoken.

  1. You’re in a meeting where a colleague shares a painful story about bias. The room goes quiet.
    What’s one thing you can say or do that honors them without centering yourself?

  2. A team member from an underrepresented group is repeatedly interrupted—but hasn’t said anything about it.
    What’s your role, if any, in shifting the dynamic?

  3. You’re the only person in the room from your identity group. You sense a cultural disconnect.
    How do you stay engaged—and what do you wish others would do to meet you halfway?

  4. You’re running a meeting and realize only certain people’s ideas are getting traction. It’s not intentional, but it’s happening.
    ➡ How do you interrupt that pattern and invite new voices in?

  5. A well-meaning teammate makes a joke that draws on stereotypes. Laughter is awkward.
    ➡  How do you keep the moment from sliding by without shutting it down harshly?
