Divesting from Resilience: Unpacking the Inequitable Leadership Load for Leaders of Color

Resilient leadership has been a hot topic in recent years, particularly in light of the pandemic and the on-going uncertainty of our world.

As leaders of color, the call for resilience is even greater when we witness those in our communities being targets of racial violence.

We witness dangerous injustices on our news screens and still show up in the office or on Zoom and perform our responsibilities. But should we?

**Please note - Untapped Leaders sessions are currently dedicated to BIPOC-identifying participants.

As a result of attending this session, you will:

  • reflect on moments of resilience in your leadership and the impact that resilience has had on performance, on others, and within yourself,

  • name the inequities that exist in resilient leadership

  • identify more systemic gaps in workplace processes, communication, and design that may unnecessarily require your resilience, and

  • identify steps to take to divest from resilience and shift the "work" back onto the system.

Untapped Leaders brings together Black, Indigenous, Latinx/a/o, Asian, South Asian, Pacific Islander, MENA and otherwise marginalized leaders from across industries to learn from each other through weekly facilitated leadership workshops and small-group peer coaching sessions, plus a diverse network of members committed to each others’ success.

Members enjoy unparalleled access to expert career coaches via weekly live sessions + on-demand access to all session recordings + ongoing chat support, all for under $10/session.

About Jenny

Jenny is a leadership facilitator, author, and Founder of Untapped Leaders. Jenny has worked with 500+ leaders ranging from established executives at large corporations to high school students beginning their leadership journeys -- witnessing the untapped capacities across all stages in career paths. 

Interested in digging deeper into the limitations of current leadership rhetoric and bringing in the voices of the often-unrecognized leadership contributions of BIPOC and marginalized leaders, Jenny launched Untapped Leaders to create a space for those contributions to be named, validated, and amplified. 

Having studied and facilitated leadership frameworks for the past two decades, Jenny realized most all frameworks are not developed by nor for leaders of color. As a result, Jenny designed the Untapped Leadership framework.
