I am Them

Picture

I have rarely witnessed such a humbling, authentic act of generosity. I was in the Philippines for the past 2 weeks visiting people and communities who are, by global standards, economically poor. The Filipina who accompanied me is poor too. She grew up in a remote jungle hut with no running water, electricity or sanitation. She works hard, long hours to support her children, family and community, determined that others should have better opportunities in life that she has experienced in her own.

We were walking through an island village with children, teenagers and parents staring and smiling to see these strange visitors. The homes they were living in had only one room, no facilities, and we were passing a small hut with snacks hanging outside it on strings. It served as the village shop. We hadn’t eaten or had anything to drink for some time and the weather was hot and humid so I handed some money to my guide to buy herself some food. What happened next took me completely by surprise.

This young woman bought all the snacks that were hanging there and immediately handed them to the intrigued children that had surrounded us. Then she walked around, handing them openly to mothers who were carrying toddlers – and toyed playfully with teenagers who wanted some too but were too shy to ask. The scene around us was transformed into one of spontaneous celebration with smiles everywhere and children running and laughing excitedly. It reminded me of Spirit, of incarnation, of Jesus.

As we left the village with these images and sounds still dancing vividly in my mind, I commented to this special person, ‘You were amazing with them.’ She looked at me, wide eyed, and replied quite simply, ‘Nick – I am them.’ Those words detonated deeply in my soul. As leaders, OD and coaches, how far do we view staff, clients etc. as ‘them’, distinct from ‘us’? How would it impact on our presence, our behaviour, our effectiveness if we shifted our perspective, our stance, to one of radical identity with..?

This is a beautiful story-also brought tears to my eyes. I am you (them) is true-and to answer your question, this requires deep self introspection to understand and to "implement". I imagine it was the way we are "supposed" to be because I've seen it in times of suffering-people reach out regardless and help each other. I wish this was how we were all taught....Could you imagine the possibilities?

Nick Wright
22/11/2016 01:23:01 pm

Thanks Rula. I too have noticed how people who experience, or who have experienced, pain or hardship sometimes reach out to others more readily. Perhaps it is about experiencing a deeper awareness of vulnerability or compassion...or recognising the need for each other?

Nick,

She gets it. It seems often times as we reach our goal line we forget about the starting line. My love for this work has been geared towards the starting line because moving away from it can be more difficult than crossing the finish line.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience!

Lovely Nick. This resonates so much with how I'm feeling about other divisions in the World. We are all 'them' - human them. How did we get to this place of separation from one another? Thank you. This brought tears to my eyes. It says a lot about how rare kindness is these days.

22/11/2016 04:08:21 pm

Thanks Jayne. I believe that the 'us/them' construct is an almost inevitable consequence of focus on group identity and culture. The more I focus on who I am/we are as distinct from who you are/they are, the more I am likely to develop and sustain a sense of 'us/them'. This is where beliefs and values are so important - how to create a sense of I/us that reaches out with kindness rather than builds defensive walls because that's how we choose to be, what we choose to do. The girl in this story chooses to give her life for others every day because she is inspired by Jesus giving his life for her. She humbles and inspires me!

Cath Norris

Nick thanks for this beautiful account. I think in part why we separate ourselves off is down to the extent that we fear the vulnerability inherent in inequality. We get caught up in the privilege and fear it's loss. I think that we also fail to see how we also carry the views and experiences which we marginalise inside of ourselves. We separate from the shadow - or what we perceive as the shadow.

22/11/2016 04:12:31 pm

Hi Cath. I agree. And very profound! Interestingly, the girl I wrote about here doesn't respond out of some sophisticated intellectual theory of poverty and development. She responds instinctively from the heart. She sees a need and, almost without thinking in the moment, responds with love.

Cath Norris
23/11/2016 09:16:05 am

Hi Nick, my sense was that she responded because she saw herself when she saw them. No separation. I sense that in part that might reflect a culture which is based on 'us / we' rather than 'I / me'. Then again it might just come from her own sweet, unique self. I think that as coaches we learn to evolve our sense of 'us/ we'. Or we're drawn to coaching because we already have that on some level. I just know that I do still feel separation and for me it's really bound up in how I've been taught to relate. I feel something so isolating in the way my culture views 'us'. There's so much 'us and them'. What takes me beyond that is being in my heart because it doesn't recognise any separation.

Nick Wright
23/11/2016 09:18:24 am

Thanks Cath. Yes, there may be all sorts of psychodynamic and cultural influences at play. When I asked her what motivated her continual reaching out towards people with love and care, she simply responded that Jesus gave his life for her and that she is intensely thankful to Him for it.

Hi Nick, your story really resonates with my wife Jeanette and myself. We have experienced exactly the same paradox on many occasions in Bali where we have supported an orphanage and surrounding community for many years. Being humbled and accepted as part of their community and culture is priceless, however more importantly by engaging them in our projects we were able to instil immense joy, pride and ownership of the outcomes. Keep up your great work in Philippines.

But I'm not as giving as your guide :) - though, those who know me well might argue otherwise :) (except when I'm giving openly, it can result in a feeling of overwhelm, so I have to be really careful to give the right amount of resources/info/etc., at the right time).

This reminds me of the Macedonians in 2 Corinthians chapter 8...

2 Corinthians 8:1-5

1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;

2 How that in a GREAT TRIAL of affliction the abundance of their joy and their DEEP POVERTY abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;

4 BEGGING US WITH MUCH URGING FOR THE FAVOR of participation in the support of the saints,

5 and this, not as we had expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.

There is an old saying from the 70's, "We are all bozos on the same bus". When we don't come from the place of humility and vulnerability, the 'I am them' perspective, we lose a critical opportunity to deeply relate with our clients. Part of the magic of therapy is the experience of authentic, open relationship that some clients are feeling for the first time.

25/11/2016 10:50:03 am

Yes Nick, also our entire culture is adverse to living, engaged vulnerability. It is a lot more difficult to execute than prescribed boundaries.
It should be noted that I am not advocating my vulnerability taking precedence over my clients', nor should the process be about me, but I am saying that we engage honestly. That type of honesty and openness is essentially vulnerable.

Hi Maegan. I guess it depends on which culture you are referring to and experiencing. Yes, I agree that vulnerability is often a quality of authentic relating.

Nick, thank you for this touching story. At first I found the thought of "shifting our perspective to one of radical identity with our clients" intriguing, but I have also experienced that too high a level of empathy can be in my way of impactful coaching. The danger is there to become equally stuck in the same well with our client. At times, "gentle irreverence" as Terrie Lupberger, one of my wonderful mentors once phrased it, is a more resourceful state which allows me to remain at the brim of the well and hold the rope. What is it that I can't see here?

Beautifully written and touching story of grace, empathy and identity and I agree Brigitte, that in some situations it would be worth considering - as a leader in an organisation perhaps at times, to bring you closer to those you lead, and yet as a coach that "gentle irreverence" you mention will be more helpful to the people we are coaching. It will allow us to see a perspectives ve that the person cannot perhaps see. And I guess even as a leader, it will be a balancing act between identifying with our people and maintaining a position from which different decisions can be made. Wonderfully thought provoking Nick, thank you 😊

Nick, Lovely...just lovely. I lived in metro Manila for 11yrs working as a trainer in BPO. During that time I had many moments such as yours, and I will feel it ever so much more during the upcoming festive season as I used to dress up as Father Christmas at a work event, and all the staff would bring along their children to sit with me and have a pic from a photo booth. They'd bring along toiletries and milk formula for said pic with me and a handful of sweets. We then used to take a truck load of supplies to Concordia orphanage in Sta Ana. I am so very humbled by filipino generosity as the tears from many when I left testify. I stayed as long as I did because I did change my view to being one of them. Great article!

Wonderful, Nick; thank you for sharing this experience and this great joy.

A tiny grace note: reading the KJV version of 2 Cor 8:1 that Bob shared, a 'little light' glimmered for me: the first time I had connected 'to wit' and the more modern and familiar 'witness.' Language is one of God's most wonderful and powerful gifts (and tools--He spoke the Creation into existence); and the old 'wit' connotes all that we associate with consciousness, knowledge, and testimony. So, yes: Nick and his Filipina friend witness of the grace of God, and embody the goodness of perceiving His image in those nearby and far away: 'I am them', indeed.

How far should you identify with people you train? As far as possible. Learner empathy is CRITICAL when developing educational content that improves understanding, recollection and adoption. Great post! Thank you! :)

Great to hear! My experience from guides is they often tell you not to give to children but are quite willing to accept a generous tip themselves. Happy to have this young woman guide me next time I visit the Philippines.

Hi Adwin. I have learned it is sometimes about breaking down the barriers within ourselves first. This young woman didn't perceive any barriers between herself and the people she showed kindness too. That is where I found 'I am them' so radical and powerful as a way of being in relationships and in the world.

Wow!"I am one of them"Amazing? No!.Just a feeling and an awareness deeply embedded in this simple ,caring human being. "There but for the Grace of God I could still have been one of them.Now my hand will always reach out to them and share who and what I am.If you have had the courage to suffer ,there will always be courage to love.What we experience is an integral part of our being which we should always be aware of when dealing with the vulnerable.

Hi Gwen. Perhaps it's about recognising our own vulnerability when we encounter vulnerability in others? Perhaps that's one route to empathy and action from an authentic place of 'I am them'?

Yes it does make sense, I was born on the River Murray and haven't live there for 50 years but I still believe deep down that is where I belong. I do get back there as much as I can but life seems to get in the way, this girl proves life doesn't have to get in the way.

I think it's just like the First Nations perspective - Gina'waadluuxan gudad kwagid (in the Haida language ) everything depends on everything else, everything is interconnected. A client's well-being is tied to our own well-being, which is tied to well-being of everything around us - other people, plants, animals, oceans. "I am them." is what she said, not that she's one of them. You are them too, even if it is a place distant from your life and culture. Everything is interconnected, everything depends on everything else. It's an understanding, not so much about boundaries or vulnerability, just about the way life works.

Hi Janet. I think this is a deep area where we can observe culture...but - for me, as a Westerner - can only really partially grasp it. I can never really see the world, the experience, fully through this girl's eyes...no matter what Ianguage I or we may try to find to describe or explain it.

Your story reminds me of the Biblical quotation, "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me." Your guide showed complete and utter self-identification with who she is and where she came from. Powerful and profound message of selflessness and generosity. Loaves and fishes, also comes to mind.

You got that right. It is said the we have to treat all the same. Who knows who will be there for us if we don't. Leadership is type of management that understands (read) action of member. It is well said; 'if there is a problem don't focus on it, think of an possible solutions to solve it.' What I see in the picture.

Many thanks, Jana. What struck me deeply about this girl's response is that I perceived distance, walls if you like, and was impressed by how well she crossed them. She really didn't see any walls..! It was as if she viewed and experienced herself, the other people, the encounter, through a completely different paradigm to my own.

Nick, I liked your story. I train all over the world and seem to make the "see less of ran safer" of knowledge. I also take one weekend if it's a two week gig and go out with my class. We have a blast. In class I teach with humor. My classes never cease to amaze me. For the most part they all learn the material...and we have fun. Mostly, people are great and want to learn, want to enjoy and have fun. Once again thx Nick, you make a great point.
