Happy Black History Month!  

We are proud to amplify Black Voices on the Lead With Your Brand!™ Podcast by celebrating the powerful voices and career journeys of Black executives, leaders, and innovators. Each Tuesday in February we’ll be featuring a guest with a fantastic career story to share, all who happen to be black.  In addition, be sure to check out LeadWithYourBrand.com/BlackVoices to listen to some of our favorite episodes from past seasons.

Once again, Jayzen is joined by Ingrid Hadley in conversation to share her wisdom and insight.  This week, Jayzen and Ingrid discuss the importance of not only bringing your full authentic self to work, but seeking out career opportunities where you are truly celebrated for who you are and the value that you share.
