“Othering”
I recently had the privilege of presenting a pre-conference workshop, breakout session, and plenary session for the 2017 Kansas Conference on Poverty. It was a terrific experience sharing the message of compassionate accountability and leveraging personality differences to a passionate audience seeking to end poverty in our state.
I was pretty excited about making a positive impact until I heard Glenn Martin speak. Wow! Talk about putting things into perspective. Have you ever felt like others were making a bigger difference than you, like others were doing really important work compared to yours? Have you ever felt your efforts aren’t really that significant compared to others? I experience it from time to time, and here’s my story of a recent example.
If you can relate to my experience, if you are working to end “othering” in your life, will you share your experience with me?

Isn’t it amazing how these are all threads in the same tapestry? “Othering” is a way we justify (and in itself is a form of) persecution in the drama triangle. Thanks for sharing your vulnerability and your insights, Nate!
