The Pain & The Price of Dignity: A Journey in Corporate America

About this session

This is an invitation to take a journey with Stacia. A journey from the British Caribbean where her career was based on meritocracy, to the US where it was based on preferential treatment and discrimination. A journey based on stereotypes and many ‘isms’.

Despite the pain and struggle to remain her authentic self along the way, she thrived in a new environment where ‘Respect for the Individual.’ was the mission.

Join Stacia as she relates the lessons of her journey to empowering her to maintain her dignity in corporate America.

In this chat, you’ll walk away with:

  • A greater awareness of the impacts of unconscious and conscious actions and words
  • Strategies to manage your career in a ‘Diversity, Equity & Inclusion’ friendly environment
  • Skills to protect and preserve your dignity and be your authentic self at all times
