I met with a mentee the other day, a young Latina starting a new role in corporate. When I asked her what’s the purpose of this meeting she shared with me that she was trying to figure out where she fit, it was hard and didn’t know whom to ask questions to as she was the first Latina at home graduating and it broke my heart and I shared few of my experiences with her but made me think to the point that I felt to share what I have learned while navigating the workspace whether in field or corporate is applicable. To All Young Latinas in Corporate: Imposter syndrome is real and something many of us experience, especially in environments where we may feel underrepresented. It’s perfectly okay to feel this way; it doesn’t define your worth or capabilities. Here are some ways to overcome imposter syndrome. -Acknowledge Your Feelings: Recognize that feeling like an imposter is common. Many successful individuals experience it. -Share Your Experience: Talk to mentors or peers about your feelings. You’ll likely find that they have similar stories, which can be incredibly validating. Celebrate Your Achievements: Keep a journal of your accomplishments, no matter how small. Reflecting on your successes can help you recognize your value -Set Realistic Expectations: Understand that nobody is perfect. Allow yourself the space to learn and grow without the pressure of perfection. -Seek Support: Connect with communities or organizations that empower young Latinas. Sharing experiences can provide encouragement and insight. -Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself. Remember that everyone makes mistakes and experiences self-doubt. -Invest in Continuous Learning: Building your skills and knowledge can boost your confidence and diminish feelings of inadequacy. Remember, you belong in your space, and your unique perspective is invaluable. Embrace your journey and keep pushing forward!

For the past six months, I've had the honor of serving as part-time program coordinator for the Adoptee Mentoring Society. And for the first time in my life, I feel purpose in my work. I've come to understand my work as culture shaping. While I’m responsible for creating the policies, systems, and processes that give structure to our organization and programs, I feel the most profound part of this work happening in my daily interactions - moments like: 🌊 noticing our mentors offer each other resources and stories and ask questions, turning to one another for support. 🌊 learning that first-time mentees immediately sign up for additional sessions - confirming the value and importance of mentorship for adopted people, by adopted people. 🌊 witnessing a new volunteer choose to enter into what, for them, was a challenging and brave conversation about a hurtful experience on our team, creating space for understanding and repair. 🌊 humbly receiving stories from mentees whose lives have been meaningfully changed by our offerings; affirmation that they're finding relief from the isolation so many adopted people experience. 🌊 watching my teammates proactively ask for support, offer apologies, and take accountability in response to hurt and harm, choosing connection over rupture. These interactions are how I measure success in my role. They are also a testament to Angela Tucker's trust, care, and *emergent leadership - gifts that I do not take for granted. I try to live my life on purpose. When I say that I feel purpose in my work, I do not mean that work gives me purpose. Rather, in this moment, I know that the work I get to do aligns with how I’m trying to live my life and meaningfully contributes to my community. I’m celebrating these last six months and am enormously excited to continue dreaming and building towards a more liberated future for all adopted people 🌿 *referring to the work of adrienne maree brown

This is a factual quote from a highly qualified, senior woman in a big corporate. A brilliant woman, highly regarded in that organisation, but in that moment feeling like a little girl with no voice. If you recognise experiences like this in your own life and you are tired of feeling small, but also don't quite understand why you don't allow the confident, outraged part of you to speak up in such situations... I am not going to tell you to just speak up for yourself, it's not that simple! What you need first is CLARITY around why it's difficult, what is most important to you and your own VISION for how you want your life and career to be.... Add in a little magic that is created by having a strong community of like-minded women behind you and you will have the confidence to deal with any situation in graceful way, that you can be proud of. Want some RADICAL CLARITY, as the foundation from which you build the life and career you really want...? Drop me a line. I am now taking early-bird enrolments for the 10 week group programme starting in September that will have you recreating your confidence, your sense of self and rock solid boundaries between work and life. For those women brave enough to step in now, a special early bird price AND if you pay in full, you will receive a free 90 minute 121 to be taken over the summer holidays to prepare you in the very best way for the next chapter. DM or comment below for more details. RADICAL CLARITY, CALM & GRACEFUL LEADERSHIP (at work and at home) can all be yours, if you are ready?!

From the desk of Dr. Gerilyn Davis: Happy Tuesday to you!! I hope your spring is off to a wonderful start. One of the most compelling reasons I reflect on why we want to create strength-based inclusion is to mitigate misunderstandings and conflicts. Here is a real-life example. ---- A misunderstanding between the Learner strength and the Discipline strength occurs. ---- The Learner enjoys the process of learning even without an outcome. ---- Disciplin believes in being disciplined in obtaining an outcome. ---- Outcome: The key is to allocate time for BOTH learning (start) and the discipline (finish) based on the need. It’s all about timing. If we have enough information to act (execution strengths category), then let’s do so. If not, we may need to gather more information (strategic thinking strength category). There is most definitely a win/win in all of this! Enjoy the start of your week! #joyofinclusion #inclusionexpansion #strengthbasedinclusion #inclusionontheslopes #SWORDInclusionSystem #PhaseTwoWhy

Some of the many things that give me joy is this. It is being in the midst of enterprising young minds. Speaking about skills and connecting them to how life can get impacted as a result of that was super empowering 💯 I've had the belief that giving back is a lot more powerful than just taking. Agree?
