SUMMIT
Wednesday, FEBRUARY 28, 2024 | VIRTUAL
A career and leadership development summit for Black professionals, executives, and entrepreneurs to increase your income & impact.
Faster turnover and slower promotion to management create a leaky & clogged pipeline, resulting in paltry Black leadership representation at the most senior ranks
Leadership representation is one of the highest priorities of corporations committed to inclusion and equity. Although Black employees comprise 14 percent of all US employees, the Black workforce at the managerial level is just half of that: 7 percent. At senior-manager levels, it declines further, to 5 and 4 percent, respectively.
According to McKinsey & Company
BLACK EMPLOYEES OFTEN FEEL THAT
Their employers DO NOT value and embrace inclusion.
The system for evaluation and promotion is UNFAIR.
They CANNOT be their full selves.
THE RESULT:
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
-
Next level MINDSET: Be inspired to prioritize a growth mindset by engaging in practical and inspirational conversations on topics centered on the Black experience
-
Next level NETWORK: Expand your professional network by connecting in person in Nashville, TN, and online with other Black corporate professionals and entrepreneurs
-
Next level LEADERSHIP: Accelerate your progress towards your professional goals to be the obvious choice for your next move
-
Next level CAREER THRIVING: Avoid career derailers by integrating the lessons successful Black professionals and allies share in a candid and affirming “brave space."
