Things I Valued in the Recruitment and Selection of LEAB Members

Gloria Johnson, LEAB

About This Audio

Gloria Johnson shares her experience with the recruitment and selection process for the Lived Experience Advisory Board (LEAB). She discusses the importance of an intentional application process, creating space for diverse perspectives, and the value of seeing people for who they are becoming rather than where they've been.

Key Insight

"See each person not just for where they've been, but for where they are now and where they're headed."

Consider how your recruitment process can honor people's full journey and potential, not just their past experiences.

Reflection Questions

  • How does your current recruitment process create space for diverse perspectives and experiences?
  • What does "turning up the fire" in conversations look like in your partnership work?
  • How can you better see and honor where people are headed, not just where they've been?
