Please self-tape (vertical/phone video preferred) your responses to 2-3 of the prompts of our choosing, with up to one-minute answer for each: Think back on that good day at work. What can you learn about yourself based on that good day? Think about your strengths – now ask where your knowledge or skill set might be lacking. Have you experienced any fraught situations at work? Maybe when tempers were running high in a meeting or there was an awkward moment at an event. How did the people involved handle the situation? Do you think it could have been handled differently? How do you experience emotion at work? Take a moment to think about persuasion and communication in your own workplace. Effective persuasion looks different depending on the audience and context. What would effective persuasion look like for you at work? Take a minute to quietly reflect on a past failure, however big or small. How can you frame failure as an opportunity to learn and grow? Imagine how a coworker might describe you based on your race, sexuality, gender, height, size, age, accent, or any other apparent physical, social, or cognitive features. If asked in total confidence to describe who you are as a person based solely on those labels, knowing you would never find out, what do you think they would say? Take a moment to think about who you are beyond your collective identities, and start thinking of your many personal identities – those defining attributes you use to describe yourself, to yourself. What do you enjoy? What are your dreams? Have you ever felt like the odd one out? Or, have you experienced or witnessed a stereotype threat? For some people, code-switching is a way to protect themselves from stereotype threat. Have you ever felt the need to do this? Have you ever experienced a microaggression? Think about who might be a good mentor for you. What strategies could help you create an authentic connection with them? What is a practice or strategy that you could adopt to combat your own impostor syndrome? How do you bring your authentic self to work? SUBMIT YOUR VIDEOS, RESUME, AND THE TYPE OF CELL PHONE OWNED.
