9. A Lack of Representation
Matters
▸ Harder to eliminate/minimize bias in hiring,
promotional and performance management
processes
▸ Harder to find sponsorship & mentorship from
people who authentically understand your
reality
▸ Harder to build products & services for diverse
communities if the people in these companies
don’t understand their audience

12. “
Don’t stress about not having it all figured
out. Social media can make us think that
we’re the only one not “trending up and to
the right.” Focus intently on where you are
at now and use this as leverage while
everyone else is focused on projecting
where they want to be rather than where
they actually are.
- Angela Benton, entrepreneur

14. Career Growth vs. Career Development
Career Growth
Career growth is fostered through goals you set as an individual to get where you want to be
in your company or field.
14
Career Development
The process in which something transforms into a different stage or improves, this may be
physical, social or psychological; ie. your skills, talent & expertise.

16. Impact Is The Secret Sauce
One of the best way to drive career growth at most companies is to
contribute growing impact over time.
Performance is not a permanent label. Keep striving for more.
Consider what impact looks like in your job:
▸ Revenue generated (Sales/Management)
▸ Customer satisfaction / cases resolved (Customer Support)
▸ Projects completed (Program/Project Management)
▸ Campaigns launched (Marketing/PR)
▸ Number of applications or lines of code deployed (Programming)
▸ Growth in market share / competitive positioning (Management)
ONCE YOU’VE DEMONSTRATED THE IMPACT, DOCUMENT & SHARE IT!!!!

19. Success Tips
Find Mentorship
Learn from those who’ve already succeeded
in ways that you want to succeed. This could
be formally or informally.
Know What Success Looks Like
Have a clear definition and pathway for what
high-quality work and success looks like in your
role. Map your actions against that.
19
Earn Sponsorship
Be so good that senior leaders want to
advocate for you when you are not in the
room.
Hold Leaders Accountable
When you perform above expectations, hold your leaders
accountable for rewarding you by giving you more/new
responsibilities, compensating you properly, etc.

20. Success Tips (continued)
Vocalize Your Goals
Make sure your leadership team is
aware of where you want to be in 6-12
months, 18-24 months and beyond.
20
Execute. Execute. Execute.
The most important part of getting
ahead is by exceeding expectations in
your role. Do that consistently and it
makes everything else easier.

Network: Internally & Externally
Your network = your net worth. Always be
connecting with people in your org and
outside. Grow relationships. Dominate
LinkedIn.
Constant Education & Re-Training
What courses or trainings can you take to
ensure you have the most relevant/updated
skills? Can your employer subsidize or cover the
cost?
21. Mentorship vs Sponsorship
Understand The Difference…. Then Find Both.
“Black employees are often over-mentored but under-sponsored!”

22. How To Find Mentors & Sponsors When
Your Company Isn’t Very Diverse

mentorship/sponsorship programs
