Take the Elevator
This podcast is purely about elevating people through individual life stories and experiences in the Elevator. In the Elevator, what's key is maybe changing your perspective; having self-actualization; embracing your purpose; and acting on it as we grow from one another. There is a whole different point of view when you look up to elevate.
Take the Elevator
322nd Floor: The Impact of Diverse Opinions on Self-Discovery
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever find yourself nodding along to someone's point, only to later question your own beliefs? That's the spark that ignited our latest chat, where Kory and I peel back the layers of our personal belief systems and explore the transformative power of embracing various perspectives. The crescendo of our conversation is the introspective journey through our assumptions and core values, stemming from a behavioral assessment that challenged my own steadfast views.
Let's face it, it's tempting to seek refuge in the comfort of echo chambers, especially when the topic at hand resonates deeply with our identity. Yet, here we are, questioning whether those chambers are stunting our growth. We wade into the complexities of spurring open-minded dialogue in professional settings, touching upon the delicate balance of tackling sensitive issues in employee resource groups. The conversation takes a turn to acknowledge the growth and understanding that emerge from engaging with differing opinions, even when it leads to uncomfortable, yet necessary, conversations. Our reflections aim to inspire you to step outside your comfort zone and embrace the rich diversity of thought that surrounds us.
Wrapping up with a personal triumph, I share how adapting my communication style paved the way for more empathetic and effective exchanges, underscoring the importance of keeping an open mind. We're on this journey together, constantly seeking out the new, marveling at the miracles of everyday life, and learning from each other. At Take the Elevator, we're all about ascending to new heights through collaboration and continuous learning. So, join us as we strive to elevate our minds and cherish the collective growth that comes from listening, adapting, and embracing the world's myriad views.
Look up, and let's elevate! Love, GentheBuilder
Welcome to the Fresh Patch Podcast where we talk about everything, from dog...
Listen on: Apple Podcasts
Hey, it's Jen the Builder and Corey, and welcome everyone to take the elevator.
Speaker 2How's it going? Come on in here.
Speaker 1Come on in, make yourself at home. I'm excited about our topic today and it has to do with dancing around our belief systems, assumptions we make and how to be open to other assumption and other beliefs and other perspectives okay, that's gonna get a little spicy, I'm telling you now yeah, and I'll tell the story of what um activated that topic. But anyhow, what's new with you, cory? Oh, boy.
Speaker 2So, uh, you know I got a lot of things on my mind at this point in time, because it's just rolling out, rolling out, rolling out. Got a concert at the Viper Room this coming Saturday, which is April 13th. I got a song coming out on April 16th called Body Move. I got a book coming out in.
Speaker 1I mean like I said April 13th yes, the Viper Room Is the book. The Viper Room said so April 13th yes, the Viper Room Is the book, the Viper Room. Sorry, april 13th, see, I can't even keep up with you.
Speaker 2And then April 16th is the song Is the song yeah, Body Move. And then in June I'm going to have my book completed. I'm deciding on what day I want to release it, so that's why I'm not saying exactly just yet. And then I'm getting some other things done. That is going to be a surprise. I got to surprise people on some of these things because it's just it's blowing my mind. So I just really want to wait on that, that portion of it. And then I mean, if you want to share your portion of the book situation, you're more than welcome to, or you can make that a surprise as well, but it's all up to you I'm gonna wait.
Speaker 1Oh as well, more surprises. Give people some time. Because, you know, I I think in true body fashion, by the way, that is, our last name is body um, it's a lot all at one time. So people are like, wait what? And you're doing this? Well why? But you know? And so, um, I just want to hold space for the fact that body moves is an amazing song like it. That song literally does just what it says it's going to do it's going to make your body move, make your body move.
Speaker 1And I love that one of the band members' girlfriend is a part of the song and the recording, and so I'm going to give a shout out to Missy, who is so talented in different ways, like I didn't know that she could sing that way. We went karaoke and I was like, oh my goodness, she has her own style and it's just really cool to hear in that song Indeed, and then, um, also want to bask in the live performance in LA Hollywood. Yeah, that's going to be a good Hollywood. Yeah, that's going to be a good time. We love going out there, and this time, corey, at the Viper Room. Last time you were what 5 pm show 5.30.
Speaker 2Yeah, and first on the docket, and it was like pulling teeth getting people out that early, so hopefully we'll have a good turnout. There's going to be lots of bands there. Everybody is so pumped and jazzed about playing at the Viper Room. We're seeing that it's not being destroyed as of yet. Hopefully it sticks around a little bit longer and maybe we'll get another show out there. But as for now, if you want to come out, come and join us and first rounds on me okay, well, you heard that first rounds on cory.
Speaker 1One of the things I love being out in la is you get a new type of fan base. Hopefully, that's. That's the wish anyways yeah so our inland empire fan base has been amazing, going to the different events out here and sometimes they've even followed you to other counties.
Speaker 1Yeah, they have when you were in santa barbara, we had a couple people who showed up from the ie. That was a great surprise, amazing, yeah. So we're really calling out. First we're thinking um people who just follow the shameless band throughout the ie and then, if you are someone who lives in the la county or you know people who live out there, please let them know about the viper room and come check the shameless band out in person. It's quite the experience. Anyhow, let's talk about today's topic, shall we?
Speaker 1let's jump into okay so one of the things that activated this topic is cory. I took a behavioral assessment um with one of my new coaches and did you uh get assessment of bad behavior? Uh, I think that's perspective. I think what came up. For me it's interesting because things came up. I'm like what I thought I had outgrown, that like I thought this wasn't a thing.
Speaker 1I felt like I was more about the growth mindset and being open to all things right yeah so what came up for me is um, my me is my style in adapting to other beliefs, other opinions and the like.
Speaker 1Right, so, I definitely maintain an ever-changing friendly work environment. Not only am I about independence, but listen to this word, corey I flaunt my independence so much so that it looks like I may not be open to another way of thinking, like once I'm convinced that this is the way, or once I'm convinced that this is how we do things, this is what we should be about, I stay there. Now imagine that part, and then the part to me that is very high in influence and being persuasive. So I have my beliefs. I believe this is how it should be. This is the only way right now.
Speaker 1And so, because I naturally persuade people, I'm persuading people on my beliefs. Right, make sense. So I could see how that can work for me most of the time and I also see how that can be an opportunity for improvement. So I really wanted to bring it up in this space, like, really pick your brain, explore mine and leave the conversation, dialogue out with our friends and listeners is how do you hold true to your beliefs, your perspectives and your assumptions while staying open and thinking there might be something else? And have I explored that?
Speaker 2Right. Well, when you first brought this to my attention, my receptors just shot up. It was like, oh my God, I really want to have this conversation. And the reason why is because what I've noticed in the last 10 years is that people are so extremely closed off to any other information that is given to them, be it religious, be it political, be it whatever that everyone is in their corner and they've quadrupled down and they don't want to hear anything else anybody else has to say.
Open-Minded Dialogue for Different Perspectives
Speaker 2The problem with that is that and most people may feel that I'm going to say that you haven't heard more sides to the story, but that's not what it is. What it is is that we have not given space for other human beings on this earth experiencing life the same way we are to just simply conversate. Some people didn't even believe the stuff they're talking about. They just want to talk, they just want to have a conversation. I've talked to people about things that didn't matter to a hill of beans, but because I just let them talk and get it off their chest and say it, they told me man, I don't even believe that, mess. They said another word. But you know I don't even believe that, but you know it was presented to me in a very strong way, so I thought I'd present it and see how it landed with you and you. Let me get it all out. Most people don't even let me talk about this stuff, and so you know, for me I'm learning, so we're just even shooting it down.
Speaker 2We're not even letting the other side, the um, be explored. No, it's not even being, uh, discussed, it's not. And when the questions come about, people are shutting stuff down immediately, like, no, I don't believe that, I don't want to hear that, I don't want to even talk about that, and it's amazing to see how closed-minded we've become yeah, yeah for sure.
Speaker 1So what do you think prevents people from being open to other beliefs and perspectives? Why are we shutting it down?
Speaker 2My honest opinion and it's not difficult for me. But what I've noticed is that like-minded individuals gravitate towards one another. Sure that like-minded individuals gravitate towards one another, and when the stronger individual see, or the weaker, lesser of the and when I say lesser I don't mean lesser as a human being, but the lesser of the strong-minded individual hears the strong-minded person just shutting people down and don't want to hear then it's adaptable to say I'm going to do the same thing. This will stop me from being wrong in conversations. This will stop me from being put on blast in conversations. This will prevent all my woes by just going no, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to talk about it. It keeps you in your comfort zone and that's where the most dangerous place to be is to be in a comfort zone. Everybody knows this. Like, if you're comfortable where you are, you're probably very volatile and in a dangerous position. So get out of your comfort zone so you can stretch yourself. But we'll get into that part. I'm sorry if I even said that.
Speaker 1No, I think that's good because you started to. So you answered what prevents us from being more open, right? If I may answer that, please do so. There are some things you mentioned religion and spirituality, even political. When you're raised in an environment that this is the only way to be and that everything else is a lie, and not just is it a lie, but they're going to trick you into being open to hear them. And I was taught how to debate it.
Speaker 1I was raised as a debater, so I think it's interesting that you're using the word conversation, and I want to take that a step further and elevate it and say we need to be in dialogue, because what dialogue means is we agree that we're going to have different opinions and ideas and that's actually what we're being open to and we're going to show up in empathy, right, trying to understand what the other person's about, and so you're actually seeking out diversity.
Speaker 1And in that moment of seeking out diversity, we realize, wow, we have such different opinions and beliefs and assumptions and perspectives on this thing and at the same time, we've got so much in common so it no longer becomes this me versus you, right? It's like I'm open to your truth being the truth for you, and I'm not shooting it down. I'm not saying it's wrong, because, as a debater, what you are taught to do is I'm right, you're wrong. In fact, that's the whole purpose of a debate is proving who's right. Right, so you can just imagine that leaves no space for being open. Um so I love that you're bringing up conversation and again I'm I'm challenging it to a dialogue. Um so how do you think quite being more open to others perspectives could benefit you personally and professionally?
Speaker 2so, um, professionally, that's a whole nother ball of wax. Okay, and my age. What I've come to is that, especially in this tense state of mind that a lot of people are in, I try to not even go down that road, down that path, because I know it's going to create such tension and uncomfortability for most people To even say hey, I'm open, tell me, tell me what it is you're thinking about, tell me how you feel about this, um. And because then there's someone else who's not even a part of the conversation, who's now offended. And that's even more amazing because people that are not included or involved in the conversation have the ability to eavesdrop on your conversation and then say, oh no, that's not what I believe and I want this shut down at all costs. And so that's why I don't subscribe to the school of thought of having those kind of conversations at work, unless it's under the guise of something that's, you know, set up for work.
Speaker 1You're doing it at work, right, and an example of that would be, like you are one of the co-chairs for an erg group, absolutely right. So things like that are going to come up in conversation.
Speaker 2But but be clear. Yeah, let me make it very clear. Even then, certain people don't want to hear certain things. Yes, and and I've been recently informed of this, and so you can be a part of a of a particular committee and use that committee's dialogue and be asked not to use it as as shocking as that may be, that's the state that we're in, but this is what I will say, and and I I don't care, I use the word, but I know a lot of people like to say and to not erase. I'm not erasing anything, what I'm saying.
Speaker 2Moving forward in that thought process, I understand that I have to even be more creative in my dialogue and in my conversation. If you won't, let me use the conversation that was permitted. Even historic conversation is being shut down now. So you know, you have to just become even more creative in how you present and how you speak about things. Um, I have, I love words. For that reason, I love words for that purpose. I don't need just one or two words to express myself. There's dictionaries and the sources.
Speaker 1Well, see that in itself is an open mindset right, Absolutely yes. And I think that's what happens sometimes is people are set on their agenda and they use certain words and lingo, and so when that becomes challenged, you kind of shut down and say, well, no, you know. No, no, no, those words have to be allowed because it's part of who I am, it's part of what I believe, and that's the power of words, though.
Speaker 1So, if that's the word that bothers you, okay, let's talk more about that, and so I'm going to use this instead. Then you know, um, and and I've said this before, and, cory, you and I always say this I'm like oh that's an example of the principle and not being stuck to the methods I agree 100 on that yeah, so, for example, I have a purpose statement, and people who know us know that this is what it is.
[Ad] The Fresh Patch Podcast - Where Good Pets Get It.
Speaker 1If you are connected to me on LinkedIn, I think, in fact, it shows my name and it says placing everyone in positive levels every day. To be about everyone, you have to be about what they're thinking and how they process, and what are their core values and beliefs. Right, absolutely so. A reflective question that I have, then, is how do your beliefs influence the way you interact with people who have different perspectives, especially if you're in the areas of service and hospitality, right, and you work with people? Again, the question is how do your beliefs influence the way you interact with people who have different perspectives?
Speaker 2That's a little complicated on the surface, but we can talk about it just a little bit, so on the surface. When I say have an open mind, I don't mean just be ready to receive anything that comes your way. What I simply mean is you have to be willing to at least listen. Yes, no more just hearing. You have to listen, yes, and listening requires you to be quiet do we mention this in another episode?
Speaker 1that part we did. The letters in listen are the same letters in silent yeah, okay, yeah, let's just make that a refresher.
Speaker 2And I love that. That. You know we can interchange that. But you have to be quiet, and in order for you to be quiet, you can't be thinking, because then your mind is making noise to prevent you from actually receiving whatever it is someone's talking about, and it could be as bonkers as it can be, or it can make so much sense, it could be riddles and rhymes, but at least you've heard it and you know what they've said. And now it's time to make a decision based on what you've listened to.
Speaker 1Well, let's talk about what you've just brought up. Sure. About what you've just brought up. Sure, it also answers part of the question about how do you think others feel when they're actually being listened to, even if their perspectives are very different than yours, right?
Speaker 2Well, let me tell you what actually happens when I listen to people. Sure, sometimes they will ramble on and on, and on and on. And you know you can't just let someone just ramble mindless for minutes in and minutes out. So you would have to redirect or say, hey, let me ask you a question, and then try to get the conversation back on path. But when someone is talking and they feel like they're being listened to this is what's happened to me and this is what I've noticed they are so relaxed, they are so kind, they no longer have this aggressive push to get this message out, they're just being themselves. And then at the end of that conversation, I've built a relationship opposed to this enemy of debate, as you said, and that relationship allows both of us to flow in a whole different way, whether we agree on the same thing or not.
Speaker 1Yeah, so there's a supportive environment, and so that leads me to one of my biggest life lessons in working with people is when people work with me. So, again, very, I can be seized, very opinionated, very strong in my beliefs, and I know who I am and I, you know, I know my values and the principles that I stand on, and I've spoken to people who have very different beliefs than I do, and so they go beyond the oh. I like that because I've been in conversation with a lot of people and that is just a response. They have to create that safe space for you, right? My inquisitive mind wants to ask and does ask what do you like about it? Like, you know what intrigues you about that?
Speaker 1I love when people are able to create these spaces for dialogue and say that is, that's interesting. I've never thought about it that way and thanks for bringing that forward. It gives me something to think more about. Right, right and, and where, where did you get those beliefs from? Why are those so important to you? So they just ask these questions and, to your point, corey, it is a space for kindness and it becomes this place where walls are broken down and you don't. You're not taking it personally, you're not defensive about the thing, it just is right. You're just being who you are and they allow for that space. So I totally agree with you that it does breed kindness and it becomes the feedback or and the gift that keeps on giving.
Speaker 2Yeah, and my question is who have you ever talked to and you let them speak their mind uninterrupted and let them get their point across and they slowly become more aggressive? I've never seen anybody escalate. I've only seen people deescalate from being able to talk and get it off their chest. And so if that's, all I have to do is allow that space so that they can get it off their chest, whether I believe it or not, whether I subscribe to it or not, it's worth the dialogue, it's worth the conversation and it's worth the humanity, and that's what I'm really trying to get back to is just being humane to people that are just like me, put their pants on the same way I do, one leg at a time. Now I would like to take a slight left turn. If you're up for it, I'm up, I'm up for it.
Speaker 1You've been so good with the wisdom and really honestly creating a space for me where I can explore my different experiences and then also be more action oriented and how I want things to look moving forward right so on my left turn I'm going to say some things that in the beginning it's going to sound a little like what Wait, you just did all this and now you're going to go here.
Speaker 2But give me just a second. Yeah, have you ever eaten something that was so hot that it burnt the taste the top of your mouth?
Speaker 1The taste buds in your tongue.
Speaker 2What happens when you do that?
Speaker 1What happens Like what am I feeling when you do that? What happens Like what am I feeling when I do that?
Speaker 2So your next bite probably is not as flavorful.
Speaker 1No, it actually is a little painful.
Speaker 2It's painful, yeah, it messes the experience up, the experience is messed up, and then the taste buds are now dull, correct, mm-hmm, and so you may experience this, you know, a time or two afterwards, because the taste buds are now. We have receptors. This is my thought, theory, belief system and some things that I've studied. We have some receptors that we're damaging on a regular basis. That's preventing us from being able to be sensitive to the words and to the things that are coming in for us to receive, and I don't know what that is for anybody else. I don't know how that affects anyone else. I don't have hair, so I can't say it's hair dye. I could, but that's not what it is for me. I don't know if it's music, I don't know what it could be in the atmosphere, but I think we all need to reset in a way to be able to receive in a more open manner and not be so burnt at our receptors. How does that land with you?
Speaker 1It lands, it makes sense. I love the challenge there and moving forward and just inner. So what I'm doing with that is integrating what we've learned here into my future interactions to be more open right to other beliefs and perspectives. Um and in on the flip side, I don't want to be the reason why I'm burning people's you know, and that's you know.
Speaker 1It's like I don't want to be a bad taste to people. I don't want to be so hot and on fire that you can't even stomach my part in the dialogue. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2I'm so glad you received that that way, because that's kind of what I was getting at. Sometimes we're so toxic and poisonous and on fire for the palate of other people that we're scorching all the receptors so that they can't receive anything, be it bad, good or indifferent. And so, yeah, let's focus on not being that thing that's harming the receptors, but that thing that's allowing it to be more palatable when we have these open dialogues open dialogues.
Speaker 1Yeah, this is such a rich substance and to try to cover this in what is now almost 30 minutes, I mean, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and it's actually what's showing on this iceberg, and there's so much under, there's so many layers below, that we could really go in. So, you know, we've talked about empathy and just exploring with some questions to bring these things forward. We had moments of reflections, and so one of the things that I'm going to work on is just really being aware of the progress I'm making in being more open to others' beliefs and perspectives. I feel solid there and I know, at the end of the day, I constantly am a work in progress in this right, especially because I am seen as very motivational, extremely positive, and so, although those are wonderful attributes, right, it might be too sweet or too much on someone's palate, and so it's just being aware of the people. I'm with the emotions that are there and mirroring. Can I share, actually, uh, a win that I had just recently, please?
Speaker 1do so I was asked to really just give a five minute update on something that I hold near and dear to my heart growth and development offerings that my team provides. Right Five minutes to really put things out there. And I made up in my mind because this is I think this is very relevant to being open to others even so that I'm like not going to show up completely over the top, cause usually when I get behind a mic it just takes me away. And I was talking to some of the co-presenters and they were like, oh my gosh, thank goodness I'm not going after you because you're so good at this and I just would be so nervous if I was after you and your energy is so high and I'm not I'm an introvert and being open to that, I was like, well, it's more important for me to show that I can be part of this team of presenters and still be myself, but not take all the glory Like that's not what this is about.
Speaker 1Like. Their initiatives are just as important as the ones I'm leading.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So let me not take away from them by coming in and being over the top so truly at that moment.
Speaker 2I adapted and remained flexible to how I was gonna bring that and and I I congratulate you on that, because a lot of times, people just want to have the spotlight. They want to steal the moment, yeah, and every moment is not to be the spotlight moment. Sometimes we have to introduce, we have to speak, we have to dialogue about things that are not about the spotlight. It's about the information that needs to come across, and so I'm very happy that you took that in consideration and used it for the betterment of the team, opposed to saying you know what, I'm going to just be me, because a lot of people would just say that this is my moment to shine and I'm going to shine, yeah, and I need to pump this up because we have a goal too, and this is how I know how to pump it up.
Speaker 1So, at the end of the day, what happened in that moment? Because I was open to what they were sharing with me, I was able to value and respect their perspectives on this, and so it's those things. My one last question, corey, is if you can share, maybe a personal, quick story on how being open to someone else and their perspectives actually did you a world of good and you benefited from it.
Speaker 2Oh my gosh, jen. So when you, when you were forming that question, I was like, oh god, here we go, she's about to ask me something. I got to come up with something quick and I didn't, because it's so easy for me. That question is great in this example, simply because I can show you the fruit of this labor started friendships and conversations with people that I hadn't normally started conversations with, and become very open to talking to them, understanding their belief systems, understanding what they were dealing with and what they were talking about, and I determined within myself that I'm not going to walk away with my talking points being heard.
Speaker 2That's not the goal of these conversations. The goal of these conversations is to hear what they say and learn something from it and take it away and actually apply it, as opposed to just hearing what people are saying and hoping that. You know, I can get my point across and get what I want. As a matter of fact, I didn't even want anything. I had determined within myself that this was just a conversation that I'm going to learn from, and what happened for me was coming in open, coming in just. You know, a blank canvas and whatever you paint on me is what I'm going to take away.
Speaker 2These people were just like no, I can't let you walk away with nothing. I need to be able to give you something so you can feel like this conversation. And I was like, no, I don't want anything. And that's a lot of how the beginnings of the book took flight, because people were asking me questions about what I was doing and where I was going and all this kind of stuff, and so I was briefly just mentioning, oh yeah, the book's coming out, or the book came out, and at that moment they were offering this stuff and I was telling them no, this is not what this is about. I'm here to just conversate, talk to you, gain some knowledge, gain some wisdom. And the more I did that, the more people wanted to pour onto me, give to me, treat me a certain way, and so, yeah, that's my story.
Speaker 1Yeah, well, you beautifully set the intention for the space, and that's another topic where you set intentions for the conversation and the dialogue that you're about to happen or to have happen, right, so that's the power of intentions there, and I will say that you are one of those people that receive feedback as a gift the fact that people take the time to really give you some insight and input from their experience, or even so, their past experience, and then the experience of your book, your art. You know just what it did for them and some questions that they have, and you never take things personally, because why you're asking for their feedback, different opinions, and so that is practice. That's now a habit of you seeking out diverse perspectives, and that's what has made you open instead of being closed, to know this is the way this book was meant to be. These are the characters I'm not straying, for I'm an artist after all, right.
Speaker 1And so I love even the the analogy of a black canvas. You've already written the the piece, but you're open to other possibilities on where this could go absolutely so it's been so amazing picking your brain and just hearing your thoughts on this. So many things came up around empathy, being being action-oriented and really setting the intentions for these spaces. So anything you want to ask me or add before we peace out on this episode.
Speaker 2Well, yeah, I would love to hear a scenario that you've entered into outside of the, when you had where you know you went open to hear something opposed to pushing your own agenda.
Speaker 1So I'll bring it to current state. That's every day with the people I work with. You're talking about eight women who hold their beliefs and perspectives on how to do the same thing right. You have to all come together I'm already overwhelmed.
Speaker 1You said eight women eight women with me that's nine, yeah, and the thing is is I know how strong they are in what they believe and they're, and they know what their gifts are, yet we make space for all nine of us every day to do the one thing, and so if I manage that department with well, I'm manager and I conceived of this whole department anyway, so therefore I should have full executive making decisions on everything. Can you imagine what I would have missed out on, or the people that we serve what they would have missed out on because of my insistence to be?
Speaker 2right, or the knock-down, drag-out fights that would be taking place every single day. Yeah, I hear you.
Speaker 1So I get to go to work and know that today I'm going to learn something new. There's never been a day where I haven't, and I'm seeking that out. I'm going in with the mindset of what's another way of looking at this.
Everyday Elevate Together
Speaker 2Oh my gosh, jen. So if you, if you just wake up with that mindset, I am going to learn something every day. If you just do that one thing, I guarantee you by the end of the year you will be so much more matured in every aspect of your life. Do you realize how many people don't want to learn anything in a day? It's amazing. So just imagine the stagnation that's happening within that one individual If you have a team full of people that are thinking in the same mindset. This is where companies literally die. This is where businesses usually stop like.
