“You cannot see someone who has value and call them a victim.”  — Angel Iyke-Osuji

Yes, you know you need to give and take when building your network, and you should strive to add value to others before they even do to you. But what if others cannot see your value due to bias and perceptions?  And what if you struggle to see yourself as a valuable one to connect with in the first instance, because you are not ‘like’ any of these people, even if you speak their native language as well as them? 

Want more insight on the above? Listen to my interview with Angel Iyke-Osuji on the No Language Barriers podcast to learn how to leverage individual differences as a source of connection and belonging.
