How can women of color overcome the isolation of being the "only one" in leadership and build strong, empowering communities together?
Join us in this heartfelt conversation with Shelley-Anne Vidal, founder of ACT by Vidal.
Shelley-Anne shares her journey of discovering her natural leadership abilities from a young age, driven by her “gift of the gab.” Her career as an author, coach, speaker, facilitator, and instructor has been shaped by her Trinidadian heritage and her experiences of living in Canada.
Shelley-Anne highlights the challenges of being one of the few women of color in leadership roles and how finding community helped her shed the feeling of being a "lone wolf." She offers powerful metaphors like the "unicorn" to illustrate the importance of self-awareness, releasing societal expectations, and finding like-minded individuals who uplift and re-energize.
Together, we dive into how breaking the cycle of isolation is critical to creating supportive communities where women of colour can be truly seen, celebrated, and nurtured into the leaders they aspire to be.
Reclaim your leadership journey with intentional choices, authenticity and community.
