This is a topic that every minority who has been in corporate America can relate to and is very necessary to push our attendees to success. Many leave their companies after a short period of time because they don’t feel like they fit into the corporate mold. But I want to teach attendees that they don’t have to fit in; they can stand out and use their diversity as a strength and as motivation to be successful.
I want to break my workshop into several areas.
- My background story (5 minutes)
- Why it is important to make great connections early on in your career (10 minutes)
- The importance of continuing education/certification (5 minutes)
- 5 ways to be successful as a young minority professional in corporate America (20 minutes)
- How to use your “diverse” background as an asset (5 minutes)
- Ways to self-assess and course correct your mistakes (5 minutes)
- Open dialogue for questions and feedback with attendees (10-15 minutes)
- Wrap up (5 minutes)
