Essential strategies for underrepresented women

The modern workplace can be tough to navigate. But women of colour in particular are hired, promoted, paid, and retained at lower rates than other groups. Many underrepresented women feel like they need to work twice as hard to get half the recognition. 

What needs to change to level the playing field? What can underrepresented women do for themselves and each other to get to where they want to be? What should employers really do to nurture diverse talent? Award-winning coach and author Octavia Goredema shares a playbook for women to claim power in spaces where they are often the minority. She outlines strategies for navigating crucial career milestones, knowing your true worth and values, and charting success and fulfilment in the workplace and beyond.
