Introduction

Thank you for tuning in to the newest episode of InflexionPoint Podcast. We are dedicated to the art of listening in authentic conversation. We challenge our audience to listen actively and intentionally for the purpose of critical self-reflection, in-depth perspective-taking, personal transformation, and ultimately social impact. The 2024 theme explores the Art of Community Conversations in today's climate of systemic and institutional racism, antiracism activation, Equity Diversity & Inclusion, and book banning.

Leadership Is a Social Process

In episode we dive deep into leadership as a social process, reflecting potential that is all around us, including the potential for justice. We use stories from two specific YouTube channels to demonstrate true leadership through the perspective of action-driven decisions related to Equity Diversity & Inclusion.
