Book excerpt: The Corporate World Wasn't Built for You. That Doesn't Mean You Can't Master It. There's no "playbook" for navigating corporate spaces. Or if there is, it was written a long time ago, for a very specific group of people. For just about everyone else, the workplace can be a tough space to navigate, like a test where everyone knows all the answers except you. Unspoken: A Guide to Cracking the Hidden Corporate Code is designed to serve as the playbook they didn't give you in college, helping you decipher the hidden rules that govern corporate spaces and develop the strategies you need to survive and thrive there, no matter who you are or where you come from. Written by organizational psychologist and DEI expert Ella F. Washington, PhD, Unspoken is the book for every professional who's ever felt like they don't fit in, battled imposter syndrome, or wondered how to expand their power and influence (and whether it's actually acceptable to do so). Packed with the tools and tactics you need to navigate workspaces that may be uncomfortable, unfamiliar, or where you may be "the only one," you'll get the practical, actionable tips you need to get the most out of any corporate environment, grow your leadership skills, negotiate from a place of power, and, ultimately, achieve your career goals-all while remaining authentically yourself.

Download or read book Career and Life Planning with Gay Lesbian and Bisexual Persons written by Susan Gelberg and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All individuals, whatever their sexual orientation, should become skilled at career and life planning. This book, which addresses a perceived lack of information for gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals, examines the impact of sexual orientation on career planning. It combines career theory and application within a counseling framework. The eight chapters present a logical progression: (1) the importance of career and life planning skills; (2) adapting career counseling approaches; (3) assessing interests, values, experiences, and skills; (4) assessing the role of adult development in career and life planning; (5) assessing the work environment; (6) career decision making and goal setting; (7) the job search; and (8) a comprehensive model of career and life planning for gay, lesbian, and bisexual persons. The model in the last chapter integrates literature from career development, adult life span development, and gay/lesbian, bisexual identity development. Lengthy appendices furnish sample career counseling forms and handouts for professional helpers and their clients. Also included are career counseling resources and an outline of developmental transitions and mentoring of gay, lesbian, and bisexual allies. It is hoped that the text will help professionals nurture the career and life-planning needs of all gay, lesbian, bisexual individuals. Contains over 350 references and an index. (RJM)
