Mastering the Game Seminar

There’s nothing more frustrating than playing a game without knowing all the rules. Lawyer and diversity consultant Sharon E. Jones can attest to this in her professional life. As a woman of color, she has spent her entire career navigating the conscious and unconscious biases of her supervisors and peers. Jones demystifies ten unwritten “rules of the game” and provides strategies to help women, racial and ethnic minorities, and other diverse professionals succeed.

Sharon E. Jones is a trailblazer for diversity and inclusion in the workplace. In her decades of professional experience, Jones has learned how to navigate the complexities of corporate culture and excel in organizations and industries still dominated by White male leadership. Jones acknowledges that it wasn’t easy, but she wants to share what she has learned to help you avoid some of these same challenges.

Jones discusses the mindset and determination you must cultivate to succeed. She shares unwritten rules for diverse professionals in the workplace and how to use those rules to your advantage. With both research and her own personal anecdotes, Jones explains the best ways to achieve your own definition of career success.

Being bright and hard-working isn’t enough to make partner in a law firm or to rise to the C-suite in a corporation or senior leadership in a not-for-profit. Far too many high-potential professionals don’t thrive in the workplace: they are talented professionals who just don’t know the rules of the game.

All organizations have rules – unwritten and often unacknowledged – that must be followed if one wishes to survive and thrive. Once you know and apply these rules, you will be recognized, advance, and lead not only in your organization but throughout your profession.
