Diverse Relationships and How They Boost Our Creativity

The people we surround ourselves with tend to inspire us. They influence our taste and color our opinions, often enriching our views by providing a perspective that’s unlike our own. These shared perceptions make it easy to see the great benefit of diverse relationships and how they boost our creativity both personally and professionally.

It’s more than just a feeling. The connection between our ideas and the people with whom we have relationships is real. And while the familiar may be were we’re the most comfortable, it’s when we expose ourselves to people and cultures, we don’t know that we thrive the most creatively. Studies have found that these moments where our views and experiences intersect with others help us create and think outside the box.

What is the Edge Effect?

The edge effect is an ecological concept which describes a greater diversity of life in the regions where two different ecosystems overlap. Known as ecotones, these transition areas are places where species from either of the adjacent ecosystems can easily live and thrive. But is here too where new life that is completely unique to these combined environments is created. Life that can’t be found anywhere else.

A similar thing happens when we think about us and the deep connections we form with people from other cultures or, on a smaller scale, those who have different backgrounds and views than our own. These collaborations and their diversity become the perfect environment for innovation and creativity to happen. For possibilities that could only blossom as a result of those unique and diverse relationships.

Meeting of Strangers Proves Diverse Relationships Make a Difference

The cellist Yo-Yo Ma decided to answer the question by creating the Silk Road Ensemble, an “innovative experiment” involving different world-class musicians from all over the world. Silk Road “creates music that engages difference, sparking radical cultural collaboration and passion-driven learning for a more hopeful and inclusive world.” It achieves this by mixing sounds as different as the Galician bagpipes and the Chinese yangqin. The result is as beautiful as it is unlikely and unique.

These musicians have created a fusion of music which works as a reminder of the extraordinary things that can be found in these diverse alliances. Of all the beauty that can happen when each of their specific backgrounds and fields learn to harmonize with each other to create something new. The ensemble has seven albums, including their Grammy winning Sing Me Home.

Diverse Relationships Boost Our Creativity

Adam Galinsky, a professor of business at Columbia Business School, found that people who have been involved with someone from another country become more creative and do better in routine creativity tests that those who haven’t. According to Galinsky, “there’s something about deeply understanding and learning about another culture that’s transformative.”

Through a couple of studies, Galinsky and his colleagues found not only that intercultural romantic relationships made students more creative, but that even looking back on having had that kind of deep connection with someone from another country can spark an enhancement in their creativity. It wasn’t just about being with someone from a different culture, but their willingness to immerse themselves and truly learn about it. Casual friendships won’t do, since a deep understanding of another culture is a key part of expanding your creativity.

24 Hours to Change Gender Equity Reality

Increased Creativity at Work

Engaging with people from other cultures has a transformational effect in how we view the world, but it also impacts the way we relate to the world and our work. According to a study that surveyed people who worked in the United States between two months or three years, the more they kept in touch with their American friends and colleagues, the more ambitious and risk-taking they proved to be once they returned to their home country.

Additionally, companies are beginning to find that their more diverse teams tend to perform better. They are seeing increased creativity and innovation, better problem-solving, higher engagement and a better reputation not only for those involved in the teams, but for the companies and businesses that house them. It’s not just about our friends and partners. Diversity in our professional relationships also boost the collective creativity of a team.

These benefits are readily available in places like the United States, where one can choose to truly engage and learn from people from other cultures and nurture deep connections.

8 Lessons Working Women Learned from the Pandemic

September 29, 2021/0 Comments/in Women Empowerment Articles /by Aline Cerdan Verástegui

Wisdom often comes with adversity. And while we’re all still figuring out what work and business will look like a few years from now, there are certain key lessons working women learned from the pandemic.

It’s true that Covid-19 changed things for women in business everywhere. For many, it represented an opportunity for a new beginning or to rethink strategies. For team leaders, it was a year full of adjustments, changes, and unprecedented challenges.

It’s been no walk in the park, but it’s also probably fair to say that the things learned will stick with us for a long time. Maybe even leave some working women, their teams and colleagues slightly better prepared for the kind of crises that can make or break a business.

8 key lessons working women learned

1Know Your Priorities

During the pandemic, working women learned to prioritize at work and home. With so many taking on housekeeping and teaching duties on top of their work responsibilities, choosing the non-negotiable aspects of each area helped make things a little more manageable throughout the day. Knowing the aspects that are non-negotiable can make it easier to distinguish the ones that can wait or maybe even be handled by someone else. The pandemic made it impossible for many working women to keep up the same pace and hours they had in a world without interruptions. Many adjusted – which in turn made them realize nothing will crumble if they, say, take a personal day or sign off for a few hours for a little family time while working from home.

4 Simple Actions to Improve Your Self-Confidence

2The Magic of Saying ‘No’

Being a “yes person” is generally regarded as a quality, but while there are aspects in which a constant willingness to go the extra mile is a definite asset, sometimes knowing when to say ‘no’ can be equally important. In fact, one of the key lessons working women have learned from the pandemic is that agreeing to a workload or responsibilities they’re not sure they can keep up with can ultimately harm their career and mental health. Feeling overwhelmed can harm your work quality. Avoiding that can be as simple as knowing when you’re taking on too much. So again, know your priorities and don’t be afraid to set healthy boundaries at work – and to encourage others to do the same if you’re in a leading position. Allowing yourself to say ‘no’ when necessary, will also let your team know it’s okay to be human, and it’ll also make it easier for them to acknowledge when they’re taking on too much.

3Delegating Responsibility Isn’t a Disaster

You can’t control it all, that’s (hopefully) while you’ve got a team to ensure deadlines are met and the quality of your work is sustained. Just like many realized nothing would happen if they said ‘no’ when feeling overwhelmed by work during the pandemic, working women learned that being able to delegate responsibility is not a disaster. Furthermore, delegating is quite helpful and often the best way to move things along. This is just another way in which knowing your team and their individual strengths will make you a better leader and team member, helping you identify who’ll handle what best.

4Listen to Your Team and Their Needs

In many ways, Zoom and Team meetings allowed even the quietest to be heard and seen on a screen. This made many realize that people who were perhaps too shy to speak in formal meetings had a lot to say when given a smaller and more intimate space. The importance of diversifying the workplace and making sure that all voices are heard was one of the key lessons working women learned from the pandemic. Everyone has specific situations and needs and it’s important to understand that these things affect their work, so make time for them. Speak up for those who aren’t being heard and reach out to those who seem isolated. It helps to feel heard and supported at work, and the pandemic has made it easier for some leaders to see that loving your workplace is a great motivator to keep up the good work. That an empathetic “velvet hammer” often works far better than an unforgiving “iron fist”.

5Creating Community is Invaluable

Building community in the workplace can positively affect a team’s performance in different ways. And while this might not be specifically a lesson that came with the pandemic, it was reinforced by the very strange situation we suddenly found ourselves in worldwide. One that often made us aware of aspects of our coworker’s lives that we might not have been privy to before. A sense of community at work can foster productivity making employees more likely to speak up, ask questions, help promote transparency within the company, build meaningful connections, and create a sense of belonging that will ultimately benefit the whole team. Diverse and inclusive workplaces nurture camaraderie and create a work culture where people are valued as individuals and become far more proficient as a community.

6Seek Advice When Needed

A mentor can be an invaluable asset in times of crisis. Another key lesson working women learned from the pandemic is that no woman (no person) is an island, and it’s okay to ask for help. That just as you’ll have to listen and will, ideally, be an uplifting voice for coworkers and employees, you’ll sometimes need to be heard. You can’t be expected to have all the answers. So, people you trust can help you sort out through the white noise in your head. Whether in need of a little reassurance or some help making a complicated choice, working women have found the value of having someone to go to when they need guidance.

Overcoming Impostor Syndrome and Building Confidence

7Make Time for Yourself

The importance of mental health and carving out time in the day for self-care is one of the greatest lessons working women have learned from the pandemic. Watching a show, taking up a new weekend class, going out with friends, a long uninterrupted bath, gym time, talking to a therapist, are all good ways to pamper and reward yourself for all your hard work. And the thing is, taking breaks, staying healthy and feeling good about ourselves makes us likelier to take joy in our everyday tasks. Burnout is real and after a year in which something as simple as lunch with friends seemed impossible, taking a moment to pause and enjoy these things should probably be listed among our priorities.

The greatest lesson working women learned from the pandemic

8You are stronger thank you think

But perhaps the greatest lesson that many working women seem to have learned from the pandemic is one about strength and resilience. The mental and physical challenges of this historical time made many realize that they are stronger and far more capable than some of them believed. It’s not weird for career women to become their own worst enemies, but the fact that there are more top female leaders than ever before says something about our abilities to inspire, communicate, collaborate and create in times of crisis. And beyond.

Going Back to the Office and Dealing with Re-Entry Anxiety

September 21, 2021/0 Comments/in Human Resources Management, Women Empowerment Articles /by Aline Cerdan Verástegui

A lot of people are going back to the office and dealing with re-entry anxiety as cities start re-opening and things begin to look somewhat like our old “normal.” It’s not that simple. Things have changed and we still need to make sure we’re taking care of each other as we return to open spaces.

Just like isolation became something we had to learn and adjust to, we now need to deal with what it feels like to make it back to the office, to send kids back to school, and face the anxieties of a crisis that’s not quite over yet.

Turns out, it’s more than a little normal to feel that way about our safety and how we should behave out in the real world. How to leave those safe spaces we’ve created in the past year and interact and coexist with people outside our bubbles. In fact, according to the American Psychological Association, U.S. adults report highest stress level since the early days of the pandemic.

So… What is Re-Entry Anxiety?

Going back to the office in person and to socializing can make people feel overstimulated and overwhelmed after a year of working from home. Being stuck in traffic, re-adjusting to family schedules, making it to meetings on time, and just interacting with co-workers and making small talk, are things at which we’re all a little out of practice after the 18 months we’ve had. This, it turns out, is caused by something called re-entry anxiety, and if you’ve been feeling it, you’re not alone.

Experts believe that re-entry anxiety can be experienced in two ways; the first has to do with safety and fears of somehow contracting COVID-19 and spreading it. And the second relates to social anxiety and our concerns about social distancing and interaction. Simple things like hugs, or even just handshakes, can make people feel insecure and it’s important to consider not just how we feel about it, but the ways in which it may be affecting others.

Still, we can’t hide from the world as it continues to shift and change because of the pandemic. And while it’s perfectly normal to feel uncertain about it, studies say it’s important not to avoid all the things that make us anxious. It may seem like a good idea and work for a while but, if we do it too much of it can reinforce the notion that there are threats everywhere.

4 Simple Actions to Improve Your Self-Confidence

A Few Tips Make Going Back to the Office Less Stressful

1Take it easy: Establish a routine and figure out what some of the triggers you can avoid are. Maybe you can leave earlier to avoid traffic or carpool with a co-worker you’re comfortable sharing small spaces with. If you need to, you can talk to your employer about making the shift gradual or only making it into the office a few times a week, instead of every day. If the thought of socializing is making you especially uncomfortable, try to do a little bit of it on your own time and terms. Get together with someone you trust in open spaces and try out new things to (safely) step out of your comfort zone now and then.

2Familiarize yourself with your workplace safety measures: Knowing that your employers have your back when you’re going back to the office can also reduce some of that re-entry anxiety. Are they following CDC recommendations? Have they done anything to improve the airflow in your workspace? What are their vaccination and testing policies? How is your workspace being sanitized? Do they require everyone to wear masks in closed spaces and if so, are they supplying them? Are they making it easy for employees to coexist safely? Can you still work remotely some days? Make sure you’re following their guidelines to keep everyone safe.

3Speak up if something doesn’t feel right: Educating yourself on both COVID-19 and the ways that your company is protecting you can also help when it’s time to speak up. If you feel like something is not quite right when going back to the office, don’t be afraid to be assertive and communicate how you’re feeling. It’s important to foster the kind of conversations that will allow everyone to address their anxieties and set boundaries. Don’t be ashamed to ask someone to pull their mask up or keep their distance. Communicate your needs.

4Take breaks and be kind to yourself: Something as simple as stepping out for a short walk can help when dealing with re-entry anxiety. It can even become something to look forward to when going back to the office. Give yourself things to be excited about, like new work outfits (not bad after working in our pj’s for so long) and accessories. Something as simple as a cool, comfortable mask can make all the difference. Going back to the office doesn’t have to be all about anxiety and this is a good time to spoil yourself a little. Find small ways to reward yourself after especially overwhelming days. Self-care is key so don’t be afraid to schedule a little pampering at some point during the day.

5Be considerate to others: Wash your hands often, wear your mask in closed spaces and keep your distance. Check in on your co-workers to see how they are dealing with re-entry anxiety and keep in mind that everyone experiences these things differently and some people have been more vulnerable than others; some have lost family and friends (you may even be one of them.) What’s okay with you could make other people feel unsafe and uncomfortable. The reverse is also true, so make sure to let others know what makes you uncomfortable as well. Ensuring everyone feels safe and listened to will make going back to the office easier on everyone.

Is it Time to Look for Help?

Some things can’t be taken care of by staying positive, taking it one day at a time and following safety measures. These suggestions can help but they may not be enough if you’ve had trouble dealing with re-entry anxiety such as having trouble sleeping, eating more or less than usual, and so on. If the world reopening its doors is feeling too overwhelming for you, please consider reaching out to a mental health professional. It’s been rough and there is no shame in needing a little extra help with the idea of going back to the office.

Defying Stereotypes one Fabulous Outfit at a Time

August 25, 2021/0 Comments/in Influential People, Women Empowerment Articles /by Red Shoe Movement

Mark Bryan is a mechanical engineer, a fast car lover, a family man and a football coach who believes in inspiring his team on and off the field. Defying stereotypes one fabulous outfit at a time he became a worldwide fashion sensation when he decided that the sartorial options available to him were far too limiting.

Mark Bryan 2021 Hall of Fame honoree is a role model of an ally in the inclusion journey.

With over half a million followers on Instagram, including the likes of Rihanna, Sam Smith and Dita Von Teese, Mark has had to learn to juggle his work in robotics with his new gig as a fashion influencer. He inspires people everywhere by embracing a simple concept: clothes have no gender.

For defying stereotypes, for his passion for blending historically masculine and feminine clothes and shoes, and for his consistent messages that encourage people to embrace whoever they are the Red Shoe Movement honors Mark Bryan with the 2021 Hall of Fame.

Robotics and Fierce Heels

RED SHOE MOVEMENT – Can you tell us a little bit about your job as a robotics engineer? Do you feel your experience in a male-dominated industry influenced your move towards gender-nonconforming fashion?

MARK BRYAN – I am a mechanical engineer and have been working in the robotic packaging industry for over 30 years. Working in an engineering environment I was required to wear a suit and tie during most of the 30 years. It was not until recently that the dress code became more casual. I was basically very bored with the black, brown, navy, or gray suits that I had been wearing for so long. Plus, the only options for shoes were black or brown. The new dress code allowed jeans and polo shirts. I did not want to dress down but wanted to explore more options with colors and patterns. I had always liked the idea of wearing high heels as they provided the color and style I was looking for. The skirts added the different styles, patterns, and colors. But in general, when I wear a skirt and heels, I am still very masculine. What I wear does not change the person that I am.

RSM – How was it to show up at work dressed in your new style defying stereotypes for the first time?

MB – I actually started wearing heels with my pant suits. There was talk around the office about what Mark was wearing and I had a few people come up to me and ask what the deal with the shoes was. Eventually, they got used to me doing it and then later the joke around the office was: “when is Mark coming to work in a dress or skirt.” So, when I did show up wearing a skirt, nobody was really surprised. Some even asked what took me so long to wear the skirt.

Want to Improve Your Self-Confidence? Here are 4 tips

RSM – How has it been to balance your life as a robotics engineer with your life as a fashion influencer?

MB – It’s been very busy. My engineering position requires a minimum of 8 hours a day but at times I work much more. My Instagram account requires maybe 2-3 hours per day which entails answering messages and responding to comments made on my posts. Taking pictures and then posting them. Also working with brands and doing interviews, and the weekend long magazine shoots. Plus, I still coach American football now that the Covid restrictions have been eased. That adds another 6-8 hours per week. All this leaves very little time for my restoration project on my 1967 Porsche 911.

Defying Stereotypes Through Fashion

RSM – Did experimenting with clothes that are traditionally seen as femme always feel natural or were there any preconceived gender notions you had to get over first?

MB – I feel very natural and comfortable in high heels and a skirt. Afterall, it is just a fashion statement. My clothing choices are not a declaration of my sexuality, nor should they be. Nor does what I wear change the fact that I can still be masculine.

RSM – Tell us about your family and friends: how did your spouse and kids react to this fashion choice? Did you get pushback from them or your friends?

MB – No, everyone around me has been incredibly supportive. I believe it is because I am the same person whether I am wearing pants or a skirt. I am still the same father, and still the same friend.

RSM – Have people’s reactions to you changed since you started playing with defying stereotypes through your fabulous outfits?

MB – Well naturally when I was wearing men’s clothes nobody paid attention to me. I did not stand out in a crowd as I do when wearing high heels and a skirt. Not that it was my intention to draw attention towards me, but I have started being a bit more overdressed for the circumstances. I want people to talk about what I am wearing, and not what my sexual orientation is. Most reactions I get from women are very positive, while most men will look and then quickly look away and pretend they did not see me. Or they just go back to what they were doing.

Mark Bryan defying stereotypes with every outfit

One Fabulous Outfit at a Time…

RSM – Has the way you perceive yourself in the world changed?

MB – Yes, very much so. If you would have told me back in September 2020 that I would have over 500K followers and I am being a positive influence on many people’s lives, I would have not believed it. As a football coach I had always thought that I was shaping young men for the future. Stressing teamwork, making commitments, and seeing them through. Being responsible for your own actions, both on the football field and off. It is not always about football but to help these young men learn how to apply themselves to see the parallels in football and in life. But now, I have a much bigger influence over a large group of both men and women. That makes me proud of the person I am and gives me a kind of fulfillment for my time here on this planet.

Clothes don’t define a person’s gender. Mark Bryan is proof of that.

Clothes Have No Gender

RSM – As a cishet man defying stereotypes one fabulous outfit at a time, what do you feel is needed to create a world where all expressions and identities are embraced and celebrated?

MB – I would like to think that showing the world that what a person wears does not make me a monster, evil, or a bad person. Just different. And if I can get people to realize this and accept this, then maybe, these same people may accept a person’s skin color or religion differences as well. This is the biggest problem we face, not an old man wearing high heels.

24 Hours to Change the Gender Equity Reality

RSM – If you could suggest one action that organizations can take to make everyone feel included, what would it be?

MB – Stop putting gender to clothing. Yes, we will always have gendered clothes, because the man’s body is different from the female. Unisex clothing will basically be shapeless. Women can wear men’s clothes and still be feminine. Just like a man like me can wear feminine clothes and still be masculine. The fashion industry while trying to promote unisex clothing predominantly uses a feminine male model or a masculine female model. This prevents males and females both from wanting to wear such clothes for fear of people questioning their sexual orientation.

RSM – If you could suggest one action to inspire people from underrepresented groups to accelerate their career growth, what would it be?

MB – Just be yourself and be comfortable with your choices. Do not worry what complete strangers may think. Concern should only be for family and close friends.

Overcoming Impostor Syndrome and Building Confidence

August 18, 2021/0 Comments/in Women Empowerment Articles /by Aline Cerdan Verástegui

It sounds like something that should come naturally but honestly? Overcoming impostor syndrome and building confidence in the workplace can be trickier than it looks.

If you’ve been struggling with it, you might find it both troubling and comforting to know that impost0r syndrome is not uncommon among businesswomen, especially women starting a new business, a new job, or a taking on a promotion and more responsibilities.

KPMG’s U.S. Deputy Chair and COO, Laura Newinski, told Forbes that after surveying 750 executive women from major companies, KPMG found that 75% of them had experienced impostor syndrome at various points of their careers. Meanwhile, 85% of the women surveyed believe it to be common amongst fellow businesswomen in corporate America. With many who believe that men either don’t experience it as much or don’t talk about it.

What is Impostor Syndrome?

Identifying Impostor Syndrome is a key element in overcoming professional self-doubt and building real confidence. What is it? KPMG’s study defined it as “the inability to believe your success is deserved as a result of your hard work and the fact you possess distinct skills, capabilities and experiences. Rather, your inclination is to internalize that you got where you are by other means such as luck or being in the right place at the right time.

In short? You don’t quite believe you’ve earned your place and, thus, sometimes doubt your own ability to get the job done. It can be problematic, mess with your head and, sometimes, even lead to self-sabotage. The trick is reminding yourself that you are where you are for a reason, which is easier said than done when you’re stuck in your own feelings of inadequacy.

A Few Tips to Avoid Professional Self-Doubt

1Recognize your fears: A lot of that doubt comes from fear. Fear of failure, fear of being found out, fear of what someone might think or say about our work – the options are endless. Sometimes, so much so, that it’s difficult to see past them. So, it might help to take a moment to really think about the things that scare you about that new position, or about starting again. Naming those fears can help you know what it is that you’re dealing with, and the best ways to overcome it.

2Avoid comparisons: Trying to be someone else is an impossible and exhausting task. Comparisons are no one’s friends so instead of focusing on how much better (or worse) someone’s work is, try to learn what you can. Measuring up against others, especially when you don’t know them well enough to know their professional journey and personal struggles, can make you tumble into self-doubt and second-guessing things that work well.

3Set realistic goals: Don’t set yourself up for failure. It’s good to be ambitious, but there’s nothing wrong with slower, more confident steps to achieve the wanted results. Set goals to give yourself something to work towards but know your own limits and leave room for you and your team to breathe. Falling short of your own unreasonable expectations will only contribute to making you feel insecure.

A Little Help Building Confidence at Work

1Know your strengths: There’s a reason you are where you are, so remind yourself of what you’ve accomplished and the specific skills, capabilities and experiences that have helped you get there. Try to focus on these strengths when you’re feeling inadequate, this will also make it easier to see the areas that you can work on, and face some of the fears and insecurities weighing you down. If you need it, there are those who swear a little morning pep talk to the mirror can be great for morale.

2Communicate with your team: Building strong relationships with your leaders and colleagues, where everyone can communicate openly and honestly and come to each other with feedback, where everyone feels respected, heard, and considered. Unsurprisingly, this kind of work culture makes people feel valued within a company, and this makes it easier to talk when something, or someone, needs to change. It’s harder to feel as an impostor in a place where you feel treasured. It’ll also be more comfortable to ask how you can improve.

3Find a mentor: Having a good leader or mentor to talk to when building confidence and overcoming self-doubt are necessary. A good mentor can offer the kind of real talk that helps impostor syndrome fade away. This makes leadership a key element in making sure you’re helping people stay away from those feelings of inadequacy. Having the advice of someone you trust and look up to can help provide some of the encouragement you need.

A Leader’s Role Building Confidence to Overcome Impostor Syndrome

Leaders need to create supportive environments where people can thrive, and women and other underrepresented groups can be confident about being appreciated for their skills and talents. Thus, it’s important for leaders to learn how to lead with empathy, foster strong work relationships and encourage honest communication between team members on all levels. Relationships that can help all team members overcome impostor syndrome and build confidence.
