Ep. 43 - 'But I'm a diplomat!' - Privilege, entitlement and diplomacy

Published: Nov. 5, 2021, 5 p.m.

b'While it sometimes may not feel like it, by any measure, diplomats and those who live the diplomatic life are privileged. \\n\\nSometimes, we\\u2019re even a bit entitled. Sometimes, we\\u2019re really entitled. Sometimes, we even act like spoiled children when we don\\u2019t get our way. \\n\\nWe need to check our privilege. \\n\\nWhat if we used our privilege and listened to the needs of the communities in which we live? What if we used the latent power of the global diplomatic community to contribute in its way to those communities? The collective skills, interests and experience of extremely talented and clever people could make a significant difference if we listened to those around us. \\n\\nWe may even reconnect with the world around us and use our privilege for good. \\n\\nLet\\u2019s have a chat about that in this episode of The Lonely Diplomat podcast.\\n\\nWant to talk with me directly?
