Today’s conversation is one I hadn’t planned to record, but it became necessary. In recent days, we’ve seen yet another example of dehumanising language surface in public discourse, reminding us how easily racism is repackaged as humour, commentary or someone simply “speaking their mind”.
In this episode, I take a step back to examine dehumanising language more closely. Where it originates, how it has been used throughout history to justify harm and why it never exists in isolation from real world consequences.
We’ll explore historical examples, psychological research and what this means for those of us who lead, coach and hold influence, particularly in the context of creating safer, more responsible spaces within the coaching and personal development industry.
