INCOGNITO: DEI tools for organization leaders

On this episode of INCOGNITO the podcast, Michael interviews Billy Daniel, an episcopal priest and rector at Church of the Ascension in Knoxville Tennessee. Billy received his PhD in theology from the University of Nottingham, England and is the author of Inhabited by Grace and Christ the Liturgy. Billy has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in theology, ethics and the humanities and is the co-creator of Spiritus Knox, a center for spiritual practice and learning in Knoxville. He is currently working on a book of meditations and prayers on the matter of “Becoming,” as well as developing curriculum and retreat programs to help people develop skills and dispositions that enable them to thrive and flourish as humans in a world that is hungry for authenticity.

Key Takeaways:

• External identity markers can cause questions or open conversations

• Unifying people is a work in progress

• Name a need, then brainstorm and collaborate a solution

• Own your stuff

• Authenticity is being whole, with yourself, with your community, with your environment
