00:00.440 --> 00:04.310
mm hmm , mm hmm .

00:07.040 --> 00:09.360
Yeah . Perfect . My name is Joshua

00:09.360 --> 00:11.193
scott stinson . I'm a Lieutenant

00:11.193 --> 00:13.249
Colonel and I'm the commander of the

00:13.249 --> 00:15.416
3/10 Special Operations Squadron . For

00:15.416 --> 00:17.360
me personally , when I think about

00:17.360 --> 00:19.910
inclusivity in almost any environment

00:19.910 --> 00:22.410
that I step into . The first question I

00:22.410 --> 00:26.270
try to ask myself is whose voice isn't

00:26.280 --> 00:28.169
in this conversation ? Who are we

00:28.169 --> 00:31.020
missing ? We find ourselves often

00:31.030 --> 00:33.141
asking that question the start of our

00:33.141 --> 00:35.252
meetings and getting up and going and

00:35.252 --> 00:37.141
you know , scooping people up and

00:37.141 --> 00:39.197
pulling them into the conversation .

00:39.197 --> 00:41.419
Normalizing the notion that everybody's

00:41.419 --> 00:43.474
voice has a has a place , has a role

00:43.474 --> 00:45.586
and that their voice will be heard is

00:45.586 --> 00:47.530
really how I think about it at the

00:47.530 --> 00:49.363
squadron level , building a more

00:49.363 --> 00:51.474
inclusive dynamic . One of the things

00:51.474 --> 00:53.410
I've observed and we talked about

00:53.420 --> 00:55.364
inclusion and really diversity and

00:55.364 --> 00:57.531
inclusion is a lot of the leaders that

00:57.531 --> 01:00.880
I admire . They do a really good job of

01:00.890 --> 01:04.480
cultivating networks that are diverse

01:04.480 --> 01:06.480
and so here in soft we talk all the

01:06.480 --> 01:08.647
time about , you know , we move at the

01:08.647 --> 01:10.202
speed of relationships that

01:10.202 --> 01:12.780
relationships matter for me . I think

01:12.780 --> 01:15.420
that's maybe one of the undersold or

01:15.420 --> 01:17.560
less talked about dimensions of how

01:17.560 --> 01:19.282
inclusion can really ignite an

01:19.282 --> 01:21.338
organization is how every echelon of

01:21.338 --> 01:23.227
leadership builds and maintains a

01:23.227 --> 01:25.171
diverse network . And then you can

01:25.171 --> 01:27.282
utilize that network to get after the

01:27.282 --> 01:28.060
mission and take care of people
