Understanding the Generational Impacts of Privilege and Oppression

Michelle Maldonado is the founder of Lucenscia, an organization helping leaders do their inner work to generate the kind of organizational change, transformation and outer impact that inspires ecosystems where everyone flourishes. She was previously a corporate attorney and brings her legal, business, operational and emotional intelligence skills, supported by a mindfulness and compassion practice, to help leaders and their teams more skillfully navigate the terrains of work and life.

In today’s episode, host Shay Beider welcomes Michelle to talk about her family’s open letter to humanity. They discuss the emotional intelligence framework, and how to instigate change by ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’. Michelle gives her thoughts on privilege and oppression and shares the notion of how we’re all impacted by the seven generations before us, and will impact the seven generations after us. She also gives advice on how to relate to one another, soul to soul.
