Renowned speaker, corporate leader, TV and radio personality Alonzo Kelly talked diversity, equity and inclusion on Monday at At 黑料网911.
He also had two main tips on how people should talk to one another.
鈥淪tart every answer with, 鈥業t鈥檚 my understanding,鈥� or 鈥楩rom my experience,鈥欌�� Kelly told staff and faculty members during an afternoon session and community members during an evening session.
He then explained he has not been in an argument with another human being in nine years.
鈥淲ho can argue with your experience?鈥� he asked.
Kelly created the safe zone immediately by telling those in attendance that their answer will always be right as long as they start their answer from that perspective.
From there, a free-flowing discussion filled with laughter and thought-provoking questions ensued.
鈥淎lonzo鈥檚 presentation was excellent,鈥� said Dr. Stephanie Erdmann, CEO/dean of At 黑料网911. 鈥淗e has so much wisdom that he is able to share in such easy-to-understand language. We encourage everyone to come to Alonzo鈥檚 talk this afternoon.鈥�
Kelly speaks on Tuesday from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in G45/46, which is located just inside Entrance 6 in the south parking lot behind the college.
