Diversity
THE DIVERSITY FACTOR
HOW DOES IT WORK FOR DIVERSE PROFESSIONALS?
Diverse Professionals face a dilemma when it comes to Executive Presence. Your most powerful, true self may not be what is typical or expected of leaders in your organization.
Whether you are a woman, a person who uses a wheelchair, Asian, of African ancestry, or any other underrepresented professional, you may feel pressure to choose between standing out as yourself or blending in as someone else.
Authenticity can be a double-edged sword. However, when we acknowledge the challenge, we can shift our focus to creating connections that enable diverse professionals to generate maximum Executive Presence without compromising their identity.
