Hi, Pedro here.

My project is working at the University of Hirona and in the Netherlands, managing a multi-cultural

department of around 50 people.

Listing to rough translation along these years helped me, for sure.

The premise of the program is exactly what is missing in a lot of organizations, looking

at reality from a different perspective to try to understand things that do not fit in

our world view.

Hey, it's Gregory, most of rough translation.

In the lead up to our summer season, we are dropping a few fan favorites in the feed,

and I'd like to set this next one up by telling you a story that happened to me about 20 years

ago in a maximum security prison.

So this was my first job at a college for prison monitoring group in New York where I live,

and my job was to visit all the medium and maximum security prisons in the state and

talk to the inmates with mental illness, or the people on the mental health caseload,

as they called it.

I had surveys, I carried a clipboard, I wore a suit that was too big for me.

I had no background in psychology or in prisons, but the person who picked me for this job,

a criminal justice professor, thought that I had a good way with people.

And so I'd pretty confidently stroll into the prison, find the people on my list, and

talk to them.

Ask them about their situation and their medical care.

Afterwards I take my notes back to the office, name, diagnosis, maybe something about them.
