Episode Synopsis
Ep #151: Stop Using Diversity as a Selling Point and Start Being Diverse InsteadI have always been different. As a child, I stood out from other people at my school. I had bright red hair, freckles over my entire body, and I rocked a set of braces all through high school. And I was also always louder, more emotional, more dramatic, more creative, and more driven than most of the people around me. My loving and supportive family had a word for what I was: Different. Very different, actually. And so I prided myself in my difference. And I bet you lead with your difference in your career too. You may have even spotlighted your difference when going for new job opportunities. But there’s a problem with this approach. You’re so busy emphasizing your difference, that you aren’t showing the leadership team all the incredible executive leadership traits that you have in common with them. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m going to show you why you need to stop using your diversity as a selling point when it comes to advocating for your promotion and to start being more diverse instead.Join us inside my group coaching intensive, Executive Ahead of Time.Layoffs and economy be d*mned Inside the Women’s Leadership Accelerator, I’m helping women land executive leadership roles, bonuses and salary raises in as little as 6 weeks Join us:AuthenticallyPowerfulWomen.com
