What does it look like to show up as your full self at work?

Between navigating the culture and politics of an organization, it can feel like there is no room for your to bring your full personality, experiences, gifts, skills, and opinions to work. T

his is especially true for women and people of color.

So, how can you navigate the terrain and make the space for yourself? Today, I want to talk about how to show up as more of yourself more quickly.

  • Don\\u2019t change your game plan of proving yourself and building relationships
  • Be gracious and curious
  • Don\\u2019t gossip and don\\u2019t take on other people's issues or perceptions of others in the workplace. Heed warnings but judge for yourself
  • Let your guard down when you are in 1:1 interactions (slowly)
  • Don\\u2019t alter your personality to \\u201cfit\\u201d the organization of the team. That is exhausting and if you start doing that, you\\u2019ll have to keep doing it or risk being fake, etc.
  • I\\u2019ll share what it looked like for me to how up full in my current job, which is my 4th job in my career.
  • I\\u2019ll also reflect on my three prior jobs and discuss how I wish I has shown up
