Minda Harts is someone I’ve been dying to have a conversation with, so I’m excited to have her on and talk with her, and to share this with you. Minda is the CEO of The Memo LLC, a career-development platform for women of color. She’s the bestselling author of The Memo; What Women of Color Need to Know to Secure a Seat at the Table. She frequently speaks on topics such as leadership, managing diverse teams, and self-advocacy. She also hosts a weekly podcast called Secure the Seat. In our conversation she shares some important insights about how to make the most of it once you get to the table, creating a legacy, and some of the important things allies can do to be helpful in the workplace, and beyond.
Topics in this episode
- You’re not alone. There are other people experiencing what you’re experiencing.
- If you care about your workplace, then it starts with understanding how each of our colleagues is bringing themselves to work.
- Creating a better work environment with awareness
- Having to lean into your own courage throughout the publishing process. If not me, then who?
- Success is not a solo sport. It’s bigger than the individual.
- Using your voice. Securing your seat at the table, and creating space for others to be able to join.
- We can’t fully secure any seat if we’re constantly wondering why we’re there, and what others are thinking of us.
