This week we are excited to welcome the incredible Deanna Pierce as our guest on Klif Notes. Deanna is a cyber security expert in the top 5% in her field, with real estate experience and a law background, she is who we all want to be when we grow up. Deanna shares how it’s been for her as a woman of color in mostly white, mostly male professional spaces. What does it mean to own the space you’ve created? How do you know when you should take a step back to avoid burnout, and when you should take advice from your hype-man and “keep going!” Deanna attributes a large part of her success to her professional and personal support systems, and advocates to normalize the benefits of therapy for anyone trying to succeed. This is an episode for anyone looking to find their place - and claim their space in the corporate world!
