This sense of belonging is as vital in the workplace as it is in the communities where we live.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve been called a bad word my whole life. It wasn\u2019t given to me by bullies. Nor by my parents. Nor by my peers. In fact, it\u2019s governments who use this word to label me. What is this word?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-id=\"1649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img1-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Diversity\" class=\"wp-image-1649\" title=\"Diversity\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Alien.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alien is the word used to describe almost 250 million people across the globe who are immigrants. And while it may seem comical, a quick dictionary search will show what awful words are associated with alien: distant, disturbing, distasteful, repugnant, and extraterrestrial.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why do we insist on such a label on people who are in fact human but simply different?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And so I am now on a mission to reclaim this word! In my opinion, difference has been a key ingredient to my personal and professional success. And ultimately difference is what makes us unique and is what will give your company its unique advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Different<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Know Your Story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving countries every 3 years I was afforded the unique opportunity&nbsp; to essentially start again. With every hello, I was able to reshape my story. Each chapter allowed me to discover who I was and to evolve into who I am today. Being immersed in such different circumstances forced me to challenge my perspectives and to see with new eyes. But the real question is, how do YOU know your story? What can YOU do to truly own who you are &#8211; not for all the ways you are similar to those around you but to discover what it is that truly differentiates you to make you who YOU are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Own Your Story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing I\u2019ve learned as a professional speaker is that even the smallest inflections in my voice or changes in my posture can dramatically change how the listener hears my story. So it is with each of our stories. Every moment of every day we are presenting a version of ourselves. And it is OUR responsibility to own how people receive it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I brought this to life by having everyone play a game where each of the participants was given instructions of how a different culture would greet a friend. Within the madness of multiple cultures attempting to greet in their own unique way we experienced how personal space, comfort levels, and confidence can impact how the other person perceives your difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/9q60jIlhsYOWKtds3l71uHmzYNsq2pRoq5zKIQEj0RS5n9DO6ZciBwYDGNIWp5KJLRCzjCCMwsiwKCHUpEsT0vepANYZTNCtATZ3tWmFSrGGyH62REvkoUTuFoOV2RNP-A\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Share Your Story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once I discovered my story and owned it, I uncovered values that have become the guiding principles of what I do. My motto \u2018Start Now Start Simple\u2019 developed when I saw my \u2018alien\u2019 upbringing not as a crutch but as a powerful gift to the communities with whom I serve and collaborate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s my difference that made me valuable when advising the Irish government, or curating content online, or giving a lecture in the university, or as an MC, or in my interpretation of music. Ultimately your difference is your story to share with the world and if harnessed for good can become your greatest advantage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button popmake-1354\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Want to learn more?
