Thriving in the Workplace: A Guide for Women of Color
Most people move once or twice in their life, but the move is seldom across continents. Following her now husband, Carice Anderson undertook a journey that led to much more than just a new location. Her book, Intelligence Isn\u2019t Enough: A Black Professional\u2019s Guide to Thriving in the Workplace, outlines how to overcome such big changes, remain authentic, and much more.
As a Black woman and the first member of her family to enter the corporate world, Anderson isn\u2019t a stranger to facing challenges in the workplace. Though many businesses are slow to make progress, you don\u2019t need to be. As Anderson points out: Change starts with the individual.
Discover how Anderson turned these obstacles into lessons for women of color, on this episode of SheVentures.
