Women of Color in the Workplace with Deepa Purushothaman

Deepa Purushothaman is a former Senior Executive and a Corporate Inclusion Visionary, as well as the author of the best-selling new book, The First, The Few, The Only: How Women of Color Can Redefine Power in Corporate America. We, of course, talk about leading through crisis but we also get into some common myths surrounding women of color at work; how to be seen, heard, and find your community as a minority; and what co-conspirators can do to help. Deepa says, "this will take years, if not decades to get it right. We are just beginning the conversation. But, finding places to start is the most important."  I hope you'll listen and share your takeaways! ----- Deepa is a former senior executive and a corporate inclusion visionary.
