Outsmart the System: Winning in a Game That Wasn’t Built for Us
Career Strategies for Women of Color to Thrive in Corporate America
Let’s talk about what’s really going on in corporate America for women of color. One word: UGH!
Real Talk:
That promotion you deserved? Went to Brad.
Your brilliant idea? Ignored until Mark repeated it.
Working twice as hard for half the recognition? Exhausting.
Sound familiar?
Here’s the deal: Excellence is your entry ticket, but if you want a seat in the private dining room, you need a strategy. No, this isn’t about playing dirty—it’s about playing smart.
The Hollywood Unicorn’s Power Plays:
• Networking: More Than LinkedIn Stalking
Forget collecting random connections. You’re building alliances that open doors—and keep them open. I had to work with a powerful producer in a very stressful, high-profile situation. He became a lifelong friend and supporter because I didn’t just “network, ” I built trust.
• Political Savvy: Your Boardroom Superpower
While others play checkers, you’ll be playing 4D chess. You’ll learn the unspoken rules, identify allies, and flip corporate dynamics into pure career gold.
• Killer Moves
These high-stakes plays turn influencers into power players. Own the room and the agenda.
The Hollywood Unicorn exists because surviving corporate spaces isn’t enough anymore. It’s time to own them—starting with that corner office.
