[Trauma-Informed] Leadership Uncensored
When aspiring and emerging leaders see, read and learn how even seasoned leaders lose their balance and recover, it humanizes the struggle, it places their trauma, vulnerability and empathy right in the middle of the room and we emotionally connect to it. LEADERSHIP UNCENSORED strips away the pretentiousness and openly discusses the good, the bad, the funny, the ugly, the lessons, the failures, the tears, the embarrassments and of course, the rewards of leadership.

Many Black leaders find themselves being the “only one” in the c-suite, on boards, in meetings, at conferences, at strategic retreats. Black leaders often feel “Hoorah for me! and “Why just me?” all at the same time.
There is an unconscious bias that exists in leadership and business culture, whether people want to admit it or not. Companies can have all the diversity and inclusion trainings they want, but that doesn’t change the fact that Black women and men are continually overlooked, isolated, discriminated against or tokenized.
Join the next episode LEADERSHIP UNCENSORED as we explore what it’s like to simultaneously be invisible and hyper visible at work.
