According to the statistics, millennials are 30% more diverse than the baby boomer generation. The millennial generation has ushered in a new wave of the nation’s broader racial diversity that is now actively involved in the workforce. As diversity percentages begin to rise with each generation, understanding and learning to navigate workplace culture is key to success.
Enter Sharon E. Jones, a diversity trailblazer and immensely successful woman of color who offers a practical guide for hardworking and ambitious diverse professionals in her new book, Mastering the Game: Strategies for Career Success.
Based on her personal experiences navigating the conscious and unconscious biases of her supervisors and peers working in a variety of professional settings, Jones realized that, although the substantive work varies, the rules are the same.
Available for interviews, features, articles and more, Jones can discuss:
- How to master the psychological game: How diverse people can deal with the conscious and unconscious biases of the people around them
- The value of diversity in leadership roles: Why implementing gender, racial and ethnic diversity can enhance the productivity of any company or corporation
- The unwritten rules of the corporate world, and why learning about them is just as important as a company’s rules and systems for new hires
- The power of paying it forward: Once you get to the position of leadership, how to continue serving others
- Creating a personal definition of success while also “playing the game”
- What she would share with her younger self as she entered the “corporate game” as a Black female young professional in white male-dominated industries
- And, so much more!
Please let me know if you would be interested in speaking with Sharon Jones and/or receiving a copy of Mastering the Game. I appreciate your time and consideration, Pam. I look forward to hearing from you!
