Publisher's Synopsis
A pioneering warrior for diversity and inclusion shows how to make game-changing moves that will benefit you and your organization alike
When Nellie Borrero joined Accenture, bigotry and bias went unnoticed and unchecked; it was simply the workplace norm. Now, nearly 40 years later, this first-generation Latina shares how she led diversity strategy and developed award-winning inclusion and diversity programs that transformed Accenture into the #1 ranked employer for inclusion, diversity, and equity (DiversityInc).
With remarkable candor and courage, Borrero draws on her experiences to inspire you to think bigger, know your value, and show up with it everywhere, every day. She reveals how to remove barriers and claim space not just for yourself but for others as well.
A manifesto for understanding and action, Seen, Heard, and Valued provides a proven framework for how to create transformational relationships that make diversity and inclusion an integral part of your success and your company's competitive advantage. You'll learn:
- the secret anxieties that paralyze professionals of color
- at work, belonging and uniqueness don't have to be at odds
- how to stand up and stand out: take your career from the margins to center stage
- what to do when mentoring fails--and how to accept help
- how to stay true to yourself when your values collide with reality
- how to show up strategically, intentionally assert yourself, and compete
