Women Lead with S.P.I.C.E. for a Seat (and Voice) at the Table

Shayla Atkins shares her unique perspective and empowers women in leadership to disrupt status quo by leading with their authenticity as their unique competitive advantage. Just imagine, you can show up to work and be your full, authentic self without leaving and suppressing a piece of who you are at the door to fit into corporate cultural norms. It has been reported that women suppress up to 65% of themselves daily in the workplace. And for women of color, even more astonishing - up to 90% of themselves. Atkins moves women to overcome the plague of changing who they are (“codeswitching”) to survive and shift to thriving and disrupting cultural norms by Leading with S.P.I.C.E.
