Being able to live in someone else's shoes just for a minute had a lasting effect on my point of view towards how they may respond to what has been said.

Krystal, you make a great point, if we all take the time to put ourselves in someone else's shoes and contemplate the situation it gives an opportunity to reflect and respond appropriately in many situations.

I could not agree more! This training was extremely eye opening for many, and I loved how the 4 scenarios encouraged the participant to actively engage and make decisions regarding what to do next.  This should absolutely be required of all employees/employers to complete in all hospital and health care settings.

I agree, but I think that we all have to improve on speaking up and standing up for others when scenarios similar to the ones shown in the lesson occur in real life.

I also agree, it's often difficult to find the right words to say in these situations, but it is important to speak up.

I agree! it is easy to watch these videos, but when put in these scenarios in real life, some people would find it difficult to stand up to those creating an issue.

A good reminder of all the ways that I am guilty of unconscious bias, insensitivity and falling short of making our work environment a better version of itself.

Galina Stolz replied on

The word "Humbling" stood out to me.  There is a lot of bias that goes unchecked and it's all our responsibility to look for it, call it out, and change it.
