91. Choosing Community Over Competition

What Rules!?: A career podcast for women of color

For Women’s History Month, we debunk three myths many multicultural women have about supporting each other in corporate America.

Do you think you’re only one person and can’t change the status quo?

Are you afraid to sponsor another woman of color because she may make you look bad?

Do you believe everyone should pay their dues as they climb the ladder?

These are all myths! Check out how we disprove each and offer ways to help and support each other when we choose community over competition.

Episode Highlights:

• The impact one person make can on another woman’s career and life
• What to remember when you have the chance to help someone
• Easy ways to support another woman of color NOW
• What your role is (and isn’t) as a sponsor
• What it means to refer someone
• The benefits of sponsoring each other
• Why paying our dues hurts all of us
