What happens when fitting in starts costing us the very things that make us valuable?
In this episode of Worth Knowing, Jimmy Glenos talks with Selen Turner, past president of ATD South Florida and author of Unique Belonging: Shaping Human-Centered Cultures to Unlock Innovation.
Selen explores the very human tension between two competing needs: we want to belong, and we want to be uniquely ourselves.
Drawing from her research and experience leading culture and transformation initiatives, Selen discusses how belonging, individuality, psychological safety, experimentation, and even our own self-stereotyping can influence whether people speak up, contribute ideas, and help organizations innovate.
The conversation also explores the responsibilities of the individual, the leader, and the organization in creating cultures where people can contribute without shrinking themselves to fit in.
And ultimately, Selen leaves us with an idea worth remembering:
We don't have to shrink in order to belong.
Worth Knowing is the ATD South Florida podcast for people who develop people.
