💼 It's time to expand our vocabulary and deepen our understanding of Black women's experiences in the workplace. I'm about to school you on some important terms every leader, manager, HR, DEI, and Wellbeing pro should know: 📚 Essential Glossary: Understanding Black Women's Workplace Challenges 📖 Intersectionality Coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, intersectionality highlights how social identities like race and gender overlap, creating intertwined systems of discrimination. For Black women, it's not just about gender OR race separately - it's both amplified together, resulting in unique, compounded forms of disadvantage that can't be fully captured by looking at either identity alone. 🔄 🧱 Concrete CeilingUnlike the glass ceiling, which women generally face, Black women encounter the concrete ceiling—an even tougher, nearly impenetrable barrier to career advancement. Breaking through requires extraordinary effort and resilience, making it a harsher reality in corporate spaces. 🚨 Glass Cliff When Black women finally ascend to leadership roles, it’s often during a crisis. They’re handed roles with high risk and low support; if things go wrong, they are blamed. This is the glass cliff, where failure is almost built into the role. 👁️ Intersectional Invisibility Black women often feel both hyper-visible(constantly under scrutiny) and invisible (their contributions overlooked). They don’t fit the stereotypical image of a “leader” or “professional,” leading to them being ignored or undermined while their every move is still intensely scrutinised. 💡 These terms represent real obstacles faced by Black women in the workplace. Now that you're familiar, how will you dismantle these barriers? It’s time to take action and create a space where Black women can thrive.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around why an employee at Wells Fargo was found dead at her desk days after she last clocked into work. When Wells Fargo makes the news it's never good news. This situation is the epitome of why I cringe when companies say, "We're a big family." No one from her workplace family went to look for her: her boss, leadership team, co-workers, anyone else???? Not one person?? Imagine clocking in for work, thinking you're part of a 'work family,' only for that family to fail to notice when something goes tragically wrong. This heartbreaking incident is a harsh reminder of how workplaces can sometimes overlook the human side of their employees. A recent conversation Dominick Namis and I had. He also inspired today's post. This tragedy that should have never happened but it teaches us a vital lesson: While our jobs are important, we must never forget to prioritize our real families and personal well-being. Yes, you see these kinds of posts ALL THE TIME. But please make sure you REALLY SEE IT THIS TIME. The people who truly care for you aren't your coworkers (there are exceptions, of course)—it's you're friends and family - they're the ones waiting for you to come home every day. Set clear boundaries between work and personal life. Your job should never consume you to the point where your health and well-being are compromised. Make time for those who matter most—friends, family, and most importantly yourself. As an Executive Coach, I believe you should always advocate for yourself in the workplace and ensure that your contributions are recognized. AND. I also believe that you are more than your job. Your job is a part of your life, not your entire life. #aLITTLEadvice

One of the top reasons employees leave a company is the lack of development opportunities. Leadership is about genuinely caring for your team, being committed to their professional development and creating a supportive and engaging culture. By providing employees with the opportunity to grow, we help them become more valuable members of the team and company. When employees grow, the company also grows. It's a total win-win situation! Your success is a result of your team. When you help others succeed, you will succeed. Agree?
