There’s nothing more frustrating than playing a game without knowing all the rules. Lawyer and diversity and inclusion 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 and other diverse professionals succeed. Jones discusses:

• the current trends in diversity in the workplace,
• the importance of visualizing your goals before you even begin,
• the value emotional tenacity will have as you encounter challenging situations,
• the need to identify the metrics for success,
• the difference good sponsorship can make for your career,
• the ways your professional appearance alters others’ opinions of you,
• the importance of self-promoting and advertising your strengths, and
• more rules and techniques to help you build your vision of personal and professional success. Jones has discovered that these lessons can apply to every type of organization and industry. She understands that women and people of color need to work twice as hard just to get rewarded, and she wants to help you overcome the challenges you may face in your workplace.
