So why do so many of us feel like "the Other" at work? Why is it so hard to excel professionally while being true to who we are?In the past, we were limited by the homogeneity and traditional norms of the workplace. Today, companies know they cannot compete without vibrant, dynamic, and diverse workers. But how do those workers gain access to the arena? Pull Yourself Together is a masterful way to get the competitive performance advantage you need to sail past prejudice towards success. Kate Johnson illuminates the key intrinsic factors that will most influence your career so you can do more than make a seat at the table, you can command it.From what makes you a dynamic force to how to conduct yourself through murky office politics, Pull Yourself Together tackles sensitive issues for minorities with pithy commentary and relevant examples that help us see that we are not alone in our struggles. Discrimination is not a dead end and your dream career is calling!
