When to take a stand — and when to let it go | Ash Beckham | TED Talk

In ‚ÄúWhen to take a stand — and when to let it go,” Ash Beckham offers suggestions on how to stand up for your moral integrity even when it’s inconvenient. Beckham shares a personal experience that left her torn between two roles: wanting to maintain harmony, and wanting to speak up for herself and as an advocate for her community. Great for human resources and businesses or schools focused on building diverse teams, this engaging TED Talk asks us to think about how to be better allies to groups who face discrimination and to take accountability for our mistakes. Beckham’s talk provides an example of how bystander intervention can make meaningful change, and encourages us to be more conscious of how we interact with people who have different lifestyles and views from our own.
