Cultural Humility in Practice

In this insightful podcast interview, Tiffany discusses the profound importance of cultural humility in a leader’s journey within the context of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The conversation delves into the essence of cultural humility as a foundation for creating inclusive spaces and fostering diverse work environments.

Tiffany emphasizes the need for leaders to show up respectfully, willing to learn about and embrace cultural experiences different from their own. She explores how cultural humility is essential for achieving equity, breaking down barriers, and understanding the lived experiences of individuals to work towards inclusive and equitable spaces.

The risks of lacking cultural humility are examined throughout the discussion as she touches on biases, stereotypes, and potential harm in clinical settings.

We encourage all healthcare leaders to embark on a continual journey of learning, reflection, and growth, creating spaces where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued. We are all human, and mistakes will be made. However, after speaking with Tiffany, it is abundantly clear that a commitment to cultural humility must start now.
