Brenda Harrington joins Yo to discuss her book Access Denied, Addressing Workplace Disparities and Discrimination. In Access Denied, Brenda addresses what it takes to pave a path to success. She explains that beyond degrees, experience and competence, it is necessary to interpret an organization’s culture, the behaviors that are tolerated and rewarded and who the power players are, through a lens of diversity and inclusion. Both Brenda and Yo share some of their experiences as they advanced in their careers.
Here are 3 Takeaways:
1. No, you are not crazy. What has happened and is happening to you is real and trust your intuition.
2. Being aware of the political game and your company culture is a necessity.
3. If we look at advancement like a game then developing and trying different strategies are possible
