In today’s workplace, talent alone isn’t enough—people want to feel seen, valued, and included. Yet for many professionals, especially those from historically underrepresented groups, the workplace can feel more like a place to survive than to thrive. Whether you are navigating microaggressions, feeling invisible in meetings, or questioning your value in a changing workplace, this session is designed to help you reclaim your confidence and voice.

Through guided reflection and practical exercises, you’ll explore how unconscious bias and workplace dynamics affect you, develop strategies for building meaningful, trust-based relationships, and strengthen your ability to advocate for yourself. Led by Career & Leadership Coach Sharmila Fowler, who has successfully navigated corporate, academic, and entrepreneurial spaces as a woman of color, this 60-minute session combines lived experience with strategic insight to help you move from feeling marginalized to feeling empowered.

You’ll leave with greater self-awareness, actionable strategies for cultivating belonging, and renewed confidence in your professional identity and purpose.
