My ultimate goal is to have good relations, with the people, with the water, with the land, and all the creatures above the land, all the creatures below the land. (all seven directions) Any personal or identifying stories shared today will be kept in confidence and not shared in future presentations or workshops. Disclosure(s)

4.

5. What kind of learner are you?

6. Stories I will use some of my experiences working in health, in the north, in community, as a nurse, often an outsider, working in different situations, and as a brother, and community member, working along side some of you... You are a part of the story. “Every decision you've ever made has led you to this exact moment.”

7. Time to do some work Make a list of whatever you should be doing at work but you're not because you are here Make a list of some of the things you need to get done at home today, or this week….

8. Challenges and or Changes But this makes me uncomfortable! Learning is never easy. Discomfort is a good sign because it means change and resistance is happening! More importantly, it means we are questioning dominant ideas that are often overlooked. This discomfort can be transformative, and it allows you and others to confront your own place on these lands, at work, at home, at play. How can we work with and through resistance and change? Where we live determines how we live, and where we work determines how we work.

9. Conflict It’s not all Bad Conflict can be a good thing, if you have a safe place for it. Functional Conflict is considered positive, as it can increase performance, support change, and identify weaknesses or areas that need to be supported. Dysfunctional Conflict is harmful to people and the organization. This type of confrontation does nothing to support goals or objectives.

10. Sender and Receiver The relationship between the sender and the recipient is referred to as the social context

11. Who are the people I work with and for? "There's a lot of healing to be done“ How many people have never had a bad day ? Have never done something, that caused you to reflect? How did you want to be treated in that moment, or do you even know? This is not going to be a discussion about how to fix bullies in your workplace, or your environment, but rather, it will be about how you want to be treated, IR-regardless of XYZ. Once we understand how we want to be treated, then we can understand how others, as well, want to be treated. Unconditional Positive Regard. This will be something to strive towards, together, as a group.

12. We Don’t See Things As They Are, We See Them As We Are “It has been well said that we do not see things as they are, but as we are ourselves. Every (hu)man looks through the eyes of his prejudices, of his preconceived notions. Hence, it is the most difficult thing in the world to broaden a man so that he will realize truth as other (hu)men see it.” M eaning making thru connections makes us human, isolation cuts this off.

13. ‘What is it to be human?’ “Humans are hardwired to connect . It’s an essential part of our well-being, and, as the research shows, having strong social connections is deeply important for our physical and mental health.” Melanie Mannarino The need for quality connections is absolutely critical for both mental and physical health.  Connection is perhaps the most crucial component in building a productive and efficient workplace. Why? Because connected teams drive collaboration, nurture healthy working relationships, and promote knowledge-sharing. The more connected we are as colleagues, and to the work we are doing, the better our workplace will be. Bullying increases with the more hierarchy in an organizational structure, there are more opportunities for disconnections . Lateral Kindness thrives with connections …

14. What is Bullying? There are many ways that people bully each other, even if they don't realize it at the time. Some of these include: Punching, shoving and other acts that hurt people physically Spreading bad rumours about people Keeping certain people out of a group - isolation Teasing people in a mean way Getting certain people to "gang up" on others https://www.bullyingcanada.ca/what-is-bullying This is not a part of the job interview…we are hired as individuals but we are expected to work together…..

15. Examples of Lateral Violence Being hypercritical Blaming or put-downs Criticizing without solutions Exclusion Gossip Intimidation Refusing to help or support Sabotage Shouting or other unprofessional conduct Unfair assignments

16. Who gets targeted? Anyone who is different from the group norm on any major characteristic. Experience Education Race/ethnicity/culture Gender Targeted person’s gender 79% Female 21% Male

17. Mobbing A group of coworkers gang up on another – often with the intent to force them to leave the work group… Five phases of Mobbing Conflict Aggressive acts Management/Union Involvement Branding as Difficult or Mentally ill Discipline, Repercussion, Expulsion

18. Hmmmmm 1x9 = 09 2x9 = 18 3x9 = 27 4x9 = 36 5x9 = 45 6x9 = 54 7x9 = 63 8x9 = 72 9x9 = 81 9x10 = 91

19. Rudolph is identified by what makes him different and odd. He is a target & deemed odd by the group. Also notice the power of the mob and how the mob seeks to justify its action - if you ever saw how weird this guy was you too would do what the group would do. Rudolph is the butt of jokes and is isolated. He, like other victims, is never allowed to be a part of the "normal" group/mob's games. This sets Rudolf up as a ready scapegoat when a need arises.  With any crisis, the community needs resolution. So, the mob uses a scapegoat to ease the crisis. In this case, the crisis is set and so they put Rudolph in the lead position, so that if anything goes wrong, they’ll blame Rudolph and his obvious inability to lead or be a contributing member of the community. Also, it is worth noting that our imaginations have several reindeer pulling the sleigh, the song can also suggest that there is only one reindeer pulling the sleigh, and in the time of great crisis and most danger the one selected is the "odd one" who will not be missed if unsuccessful.  With little choice, Rudolph leads the sleigh and we hold our breath to see if the would-be scapegoat dies or lives. we do not know the fate of Rudolph. Did he succeed in guiding the sleigh?

20. Dealing with Lateral Violence Dealing with lateral violence is dealing with poorly expressed anger . Poorly expressed anger can be due to failure to recognize anger and take constructive action when possible or failure to find healthy ways to blow off some of the anger-related stress or failure to discuss the precipitating cause of the anger. Expressing internalized anger is associated with less stress and depression, more optimism, and a stronger sense of self-efficacy. (Thomas, 2003, 108).

21. What are the characteristics of a Bully/Victim? In the eyes of a bully, those who display kindness and compassion are weak, but in truth, it’s the bully trying to hide their weakness by making others feel weak. Most bullies feel they are victims.

22. Narcissistic Bully They are grandiose and have dreams of breath taking achievement. They feel they deserve power and position. They can fly into a rage when reality confronts them. This person is very destructive and manipulative, they don’t set out in a callous way to annihilate any person – it is purely an expression of their superiority.

23. Accidental Bully This person is task orientated and just wants to get things done, tends to panic when things are not getting done, and goes into a rage about it. This person is basically decent, they don’t really think about the impact of what’s happening or what they have done. They are responding to stress and it is believed that they can be coached out of this behavior.

24. Serial Bully Has a sociopathic and psychopathic personality. This type of bully is intentional, systematic and organized and is often relentless. They usually get things done in terms of self-interest. They employ subtle techniques that are difficult to detect or prove. Coaching is often ineffective. They exhibit the following: Grandiose, but charming Authoritative, aggressive and dominating Fearless and shameless Devoid of empathy or remorse Manipulative and deceptive Impulsive, chaotic or stimulus seeking Master of imitation or mimicry

25. 4 Most common types of Bullying Behaviours 1 Social Bullying 2 Verbal Bullying 3 Physical Bullying 4 Cyber Bullying

29. 4 Cyber Bullying Cyber Bullying - using the internet or text messaging to intimidate, put-down, spread rumours or make fun of someone. https://www.bullyingcanada.ca/what-is-bullying

30. In Conflict who are you: Victim, Villain, Hero ? In conflict, each person feels hit first. The size of the villain determines the size of the hero. “Without Goliath, David is just some punk, throwing rocks.” Billy Crystal, My Giant

31. What are the characteristics of a victim/target? A victim , according to Webster’s dictionary, is a person who has been attacked, injured, robbed, killed, cheated, or fooled by someone else, or harmed by an unpleasant event. Everyone gets attacked, injured, cheated, fooled, and harmed during their life — if not physically, then emotionally. And everyone gets harmed by unpleasant events. We’re all victims, in moments, to life’s challenges and difficulties — life’s lifeness .

32. Are there benefits of being a victim ? The bully is out to get me, it is not my fault, avoid, avoid… Can become a comfort zone, don’t take risks, feels safe I'm right the bully is wrong, I get sympathy and support Becomes an identity, if lost, who will you be? It's not my fault, I'm not responsible, blame outlet Someone with a victim mentality may actually feel pleasure, or receive positive reinforcement, when they receive attention or pity as a result of their misfortune.

33. Are there benefits of being a victim ? You don’t take responsibility for anything. You get a lot of attention. Other people feel sorry for you. Others are less likely to criticize you. You get what you want. People listen to your stories. There’s always something interesting (i.e. some kind of drama) going on in your life. You feel you have a right to complain.

34. Dealing with Victim Mentality in the Workplace If you work with someone with a victim mentality, you may have noticed that they often wait for others to tell them how to do something. They may lack initiative, exhibit a lot of indecision and they aren’t engaged or proactive. This person may complain about their career situation and often claims to be unclear of their roles and responsibilities. They may wait for their manger or boss to give them clarification rather than being proactive and seeking out the answers that they need.

35. How to break out of being a victim? I have it the worst, but do you? Challenge yourself Be grateful, especially humble, especially if you are a nurse! It's not all about you, think about the other person (the bully) Meditate, chill, find balance, what stories are you creating? Get up and get out, exercise, volunteer, move from …..to …. Forgive, accept, understand, learn

36. How to break out of being a victim? Take ownership and responsibility for your own needs and wants. Practice saying “No.” Stop blaming. Become aware of the root of your sense of powerlessness. Be kind to yourself. Turn your focus to helping others. Practice gratitude. Practice forgiveness.

37. Zero Tolerance Policies Should we be adopting and promoting Zero Tolerance Policies?

38. High Conflict Personalities Lots of all of nothing thinking Intense or unmanaged emotions Extreme behaviour or threats A preoccupation with blaming others – Targets of Blame From Bill Eddy’s book 5 Types of People who can Ruin Your Life

39. How to Deal with High Conflict Personalities Connect with empathy, attention, and respect Analyze alternatives or options Respond to misinformation or hostility Set limits on high-conflict behaviours From Bill Eddy’s book

40. How do you show that you CARE ? CARE C ompassion A cceptance R espect E mpathy When you read this, are you thinking of how you show that you CARE for others, or yourself?

41. Compassion Compassion is not the same as empathy or altruism, though the concepts are related. Compassion is when those feelings and thoughts include the desire to help.

42. Compassionate Empathy Compassionate empathy is the most active form of empathy. It involves not only having concern for another person, and sharing their emotional pain, but also taking practical steps to reduce it. For example, imagine that one of your team members is upset and angry because they delivered an important presentation badly. Acknowledging their hurt is valuable and affirming their reaction by showing signs of those feelings yourself even more so. But best of all is putting aside some time for them and offering practical support or guidance on getting through the situation and preparing for next time.

43. Acceptance vs Tolerance Acceptance is defined as “favorable reception; approval; favor”. Tolerance is defined as “a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one’s own; freedom from bigotry”.

44. Tolerance Here are some ways to practice tolerance: Practice respect and kindness to others Words matter - Be sensitive to the language you choose Avoid stereotypes and respect individuality Be careful about potentially hurtful jokes Be inclusive - celebrate diversity Focus on commonalities rather than differences Stand up for others if they are being treated unfairly or unkindly

45. RESPECT 1. Listen and be present 2. Be thoughtful of others’ feelings 3. Acknowledge others and say thank you 4. Address mistakes with kindness 5. Make decisions based on what’s right, not who you like 6. Respect physical boundaries 7. Live and let live

46. Empathy To use empathy effectively, you need to put aside your own viewpoint and see things from the other person's perspective. Then, you can recognize behavior that appears at first sight to be over emotional, stubborn, or unreasonable as simply a reaction based on a person's prior knowledge and experiences. Empathy refers more generally to our ability to take the perspective of and feel the emotions of another person.

47. He said, She said, They Said Different genders and cultures communicate differently Indirect communication Direct communication Asynchronous communication – text, email, voicemail Cyber Lateral Violence CAPS LOCK We punish people for not being able to communicate properly as opposed to helping them learn new skills..

48. Kind Questions Tell me more about that… Tell me what happened next… "What would it take for us to move forward?" or "Could you help me understand why you feel that way?“ These questions, often starting with "What," "How," or "Could you tell me about," focus on gathering information, exploring solutions together, and fostering mutual understanding.

49. Lateral Kindness at work Listen closely when people introduce themselves. Have a conversation where you mostly listen. Eye contact, and smile at others as you walk down the hallway (or online) Ask a colleague about their life outside work. Each day, make a connection with someone you normally don’t spend much time with. Go for lunch! (versus, they never invite me for lunch) Connect with yourself.

50. Lateral Kindness every day Ask yourself, if what I am saying or doing is helpful? If you can be kind to your patients, please be kind to each other Respectful and responsible relationships, there are no apps for that. Please be kind to each other Be Grateful Be Great!

51. Kindness - making safe and welcomed space Safe LISTEN and SILENT have the same letters Presence Connectedness with others Being safe vs Feeling safe Welcomed Secure Inclusion We must act together or towards others or with others Feeling “belonged”

52. Vulnerable and Marginalized ( People do not do this to themselves) Vulnerable Adj. - susceptible to physical or emotional attack or harm (of a person) in need of special care, support, or protection because of age, disability, or risk of abuse or neglect ISOLATION in all its forms Trauma Marginalized Adj. - (of a person, group, or concept) treated as insignificant or peripheral Who are these people in your community? Homeless, elders, disabled, BIPOC, IVDU, PLWHIV, … Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn, Flop…

53. Case study questions Sally is late to work again…. What should you do? Timmy posted on Social Media that they were drunk and partying on the weekend, and they called in sick to work? What should you do? How am I supposed to meet this deadline? I just got the documents to review yesterday, and I already have a full plate. Why did I get assigned this task? I always get the worst jobs. She’s upset I’m late again? The bus was late, and then I had to wait forever for the elevator!

54. Unconditional Positive Regard UPR When we accept others as they are, we give them permission to accept themselves. To cultivate an attitude of unconditional positive regard for the people in your team, keep these reminders/ personal mantras at hand: I am here to help, understand, and provide guidelines, not criticize. Your worth does not need to be earned. I accept you, even though I may not approve of all the actions or choices you make. I give you permission to make mistakes and I believe in our collective ability to learn from them.

55. UPR In The Workplace So, what does it mean for the workplace? A job that most people have at some point in their lives is retail. Most people leave their jobs not because they do not enjoy the work, but because of poor management. So how would unconditional positive regard look among your management team in the workplace? Here are some examples: Giving praise where praise is due Offering support and positive feedback when someone may be struggling Not blaming things not being done on your inability to do so Caring about things going on that may affect work (car breaking down, marital problems, personal or family sickness) Having an open-door policy Hearing the ideas and concerns of its workers.

56. UPR In The Workplace Does where you work have Unconditional Positive Regard for you and your co-workers? Most job's turnover rate would dramatically decline if these practices were used in the workplace, whether it is retail, service, educational, healthcare, or creative work . My favorite belief is that everyone is doing the best that they can with the resources they have in that moment. Adopting this mentality has helped me with my work and personal relationships. I’m an 80 20 guy Pareto Rule 80% of our results come from 20% of our efforts 80% of something is amazing and maybe 20% of it could be better, and 80% of what we do will be done really well and 20% of it will just get done

57. Case study on kindness Being kind to yourself is very important Have you ever bought yourself a pair of shoes, boots, moccasins, slippers, … How did this make you feel? Have you ever bought someone else a pair of shoes, boots, moccasins, slippers, … How did this make you feel?

58. Altruism Altruism is when we act to promote someone else’s welfare, even at a risk or cost to ourselves.

59. The Case Against Altruism First, let's consider the case against altruism. Acting with kindness may offer the following "selfish" benefits: 1) Doing something kind reduces the tension created by our experience of empathy and inaction. 2) A kind act allows us to avoid social sanction or personal guilt for failing to help. 3) Kindness confers social and personal rewards. We earn the approval of others and feel good about ourselves for doing the "right" thing. A theory or "reciprocal altruism" suggests that kind acts are most often directed toward individuals who are likely to repay us in the future.

60. People are People: we're not born unkind. Kindness is innate. The word 'kind' originates from the Germanic derivative 'kin’, which means 'the natural order’. Clear is kind Unclear is unkind . Question how, not why, a person behaves or acts who they do . . .

61. This will make your life easier… Do you believe others around you are doing their “ best ”? “Are People Doing The Best They Can?” So, if you don’t believe it, who does that person look like? But, what if I told you, that person is and always is, doing the very best they can…. Brené Brown 50/50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5TkA7d7eTw Believing that people are doing the best they can, whether they are or they are not, will make a big difference in your (and their) lives. This is your choice to make. We overthink, we worry, we wish people would be different…. So our lives would be easier.

62. I don’t see colour . . . Anyone who is able to see can discern and recognize one skin color from the next. To say you don’t see color is a misnomer. The goal is actually to see and recognize color but to control and regulate your innate impulse to make decisions based on such characteristics. Being able to first recognize this is critical. We all see color.

63. EDI, Diversity, and who decides Skin colour has an impact on how people are treated, hair colour and style, heights, weights, speech, accents, able bodied, disabled, young, old, blind, deaf, rich, poor, smelly, fat, … More states are trying to protect black employees who want to wear natural hairstyles at work I don’t see colour, is not helpful. Racism is not hidden. You see colour, and you have lived, learned, and grown in this environment. what does your clinic or space look and feel like? Racism sexism Single mom, 2 kids, 2 different dads. Who do you see? Do you see colour?

64. How are we the same? What things do you have in common with ………?

65. Culture of Silence or Culture of Inclusion Culture - Everybody does it, everybody knows about it, no one talks about it… K. Bartholomew

66. Safe place Where is the safe place in your organization?

67. How do we make spaces safe? Indigenous art Safe Space (poster, signs, stickers) Feb Black H istory month June Indigenous peoples' day month RICHARD RIEL DUBOIS CLIFF DUBOIS

68. When you have the choice to be right, or kind… Always choose to be kind.

69. Bronze rule Do unto others as they have done unto you Silver What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others Gold Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Platinum Do unto others as they want done unto them THE PLATINUM RULE. TREAT OTHERS HOW THEY WANT TO BE TREATED

70. "Have" to or "Get" to (be kind) I don’t “have” to . . . I “get” to . . . The key point is that both versions of reality are true. I have to do certain things, and I also get to do them.

71. "I have to" implies an obligation or necessity, while "I get to" suggests an opportunity or privilege . The phrase "I get to" can shift your mindset from one of being forced to do something to one of gratitude, making a task seem less like a chore and more like an opportunity.  I have to Meaning : Indicates an obligation, necessity, or something that must be done. Connotation : Often feels like a burden or a chore. Example : "I have to go to work" can make work sound like a necessary but unappealing duty.  I get to Meaning : Indicates an opportunity, privilege, or something one is lucky to do. Connotation : Creates a sense of positivity, gratitude, and excitement. Example : "I get to go to work" can frame the job as a positive opportunity, especially when contrasted with the alternative.  How to use the shift Reframe your thinking : Consciously replace "I have to" with "I get to" in your thoughts to change your attitude. Acknowledge the positive : By changing your language, you can focus on the benefits of a task rather than the hardship. Example in practice : Instead of thinking, "I have to clean the bathroom," try "I get to make my bathroom nice and clean for everyone"

72. There’s always a reason why a person becomes who they are. The most important decision we can make about every experience in our life is the meaning we assign to those experiences. Do we survive in order to connect, or do we connect in order to survive?

73. An environment that is safe for people; where there is no assault, challenge or denial of their identity, of who they are and what they need. It is about shared respect, shared meaning, shared knowledge and experience, of learning, living and working together with dignity and truly listening. (Health Q. F., 2012) Cultural Safety

74. Ask “What matters to you?” rather than “What’s the matter with you?” Western thinking is individualistic and based on problem solving. Other cultures are not so linear.

75. Risk and Rewards We often face a risk acting, and we also face a risk when we do not act.

76. I am a visitor on this land May the sun bring you new energy by day, May the moon softly restore you by night, May the rain wash away your worries, May the breeze blow new strength into your being. May you walk gently through the world and know it’s beauty all the day of your life. Apache Blessing

80. The end…

81. Kindness is - Not staying silence on critique, and complaining against x, y, z, 1, 2, 3 Kindness can mean sitting with someone (bully), sharing a meal, and discussing their (harmful) thoughts, and actions. Seeing the plight of people facing injustice and using the truth to speak to power. When we are kind to one another and help others, it is often at great personal cost.

82. Tone Policing is not Kind . . . The definition of Tone Policing, according to Dictionary.com is “a conversational tactic that dismisses the ideas being communicated when they are perceived to be delivered in an angry, frustrated, sad, fearful or otherwise emotionally charged manner.” Examples of tone policing? 1. “Calm down.” 2. “You don’t need to get so angry.” 3. “Tone matters.” One of my friends said to me - Residential school children's deaths and mass graves – but there was TB, Flu, lots of reasons why children may have died, this was not an easy time to be alive. Me - yah, but they could have had a proper “Christian” burial, with names, and dates – but, …..

83. Tone Policing Black woman colleague:  “I am really tired of going to these women leadership events and it only being about or for white women! Someone needs to call this out—it is ridiculous. And it really makes our diversity efforts seem so one-sided.”    White woman colleague:  “You know, I think you could probably get more buy-in if your approach wasn’t as divisive. You don’t want people thinking you’re upset or being difficult or saying their efforts don’t work. Like, you know I’m all for diversity but your statement kind of made me feel excluded, or if as a white woman, I’m doing something wrong.” >  tone-policing  

84. A Stanford University study  reported in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that playing the victim leads to a sense of entitlement and to narcissistic or selfish behavior. She’s angry with me. She wants me to fail. She answers everyone else’s emails but mine. How can she expect me to be successful? Client: I can’t get a meeting on my boss’ calendar. Me: What have you done to request this meeting? Client: I told her I needed to have a meeting. Me: How did you ask her? Client: We were walking out of another meeting, and I told her I needed to get on her calendar. Me: What did you do next? Client: Nothing. There’s nothing I can do, it’s her move to make.

86. Acts of Kindness Take a minute right now, to do something kind

87. Take time, right now, to do something kind. “Reach out and help others. If you have the power to make someone happy, do it. Be a vessel, be the change, be the difference, or be the inspiration. Shine your light as an example. The world needs more of that.” ― Germany Kent Can you, could you, do this everyday? Throughout the day?

88. Recognizing my Privilege. Firstly, to be an effective ally I need to recognize the privileges I may (unknowingly) be benefitting from. As a true ally I am aware of my privilege and I am willing to speak up about it without taking attention away from those who are marginalized. As a true ally this can only be decided by those who I am working with, that is, it is not up to me at all. Really, I am aligning myself with others, it is an action, and an act of doing something, and not something to be turned on or off when it is convenient. Asian Heritage Month
