How to Leverage Being Other

Description:

To be other is to be different from the norm. Being other, however, doesn’t always feel appreciated or understood. Being part of a marginalized group generally means you function in your own version of society separate from the larger paradigm. Shifting your mindset to reconcile with the idea of being different can help you to be more unapologetic about your otherness and accepting your difference can make you unstoppable. In this panel, we’ll learn what it means to be proud of your otherness and how to use it to your advantage in your life and career. We’ll also discuss how you can make room at the table for more people like you once you’ve leveraged your otherness to your advantage. What makes you different makes you that much more special.
