Besides your parents, your family, and friends, who believes in you? Who believes in your vision, your purpose, and your possibilities? Who believes that you can be a leader? It’s imperative to determine very quickly if your leaders believe in you. As a person of color, the organization we work for must believe in us. Without ardent supporters, you will never advance beyond the employee desk. Therefore, having someone who believes in you, who is willing to give you directions that are meaningful, and who is objective is a mandatory component of advancing your career.

In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, Margaret Spence will discuss what it means to have trust, faith, and confidence in someone’s potential to propel them forward. The often-missing ingredient for diverse individuals is having leaders who believe in our ability to move ahead. So we will answer the question: Who believes in you and why?
