About this listen

The intersection of womanhood, race, and ethnicity can be a challenging place to navigate alone – speaking from my own personal experience of navigating Corporate America and coaching people all over the world. I decided it was time to advocate for women and create a podcast that provides encouragement, accountability, and a strategic approach to navigating the nuances of the working woman. In this podcast, I’ll teach you how to think of your career holistically, looking at it from all angles as you take charge in discovering a meaningful and purpose-driven career. I’ll also be interviewing other dynamic women who’ve experienced and overcome similar challenges in their career with grace, confidence and of course strategy.All rights reserved Copyright 2020 Byrd Career Consulting Careers Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Personal Success

    May 11 2021

    In the Season 1 finale of Career Chasers, host Latesha Byrd prompted you with the question, "What do you need to do in a toxic work environment?" 

    Some might say you need to leave immediately, maybe you slowly plan your exit while you line up another position, perhaps you try to repair the situation. Regardless of your answer, Latesha wants to get the discussion going because there's several good answers to this dilemma. 

    Stay tuned until the end of the podcast to hear Latesha give away a one-on-one coaching session with one of her listeners for answering this question!

  • Performance Reviews
    May 5 2021

    Creating clear and defined expectations is part of the dynamic of any workplace, and at many companies this manifests itself as a performance review. While being able to effectively communicate strengths and weaknesses is key to any working relationship, the performance review can often have built in biases, especially for Black and Brown people and women.

    In today's episode of Career Chasers, Latesha Byrd talks about why the performance review is a good time to level set expectations, dealing with biases, the power of having a brag sheet or self review, and five steps you can do to knock your performance review out of the park.

    Also, you can win a free coaching session with Latesha, and get featured in the Season 1 finale on next week's episode. All you have to do is listen to the first part of today's episode to find out how!

    Apr 26 2021
    Diversity hiring is something that lots of companies have talked a big game about recently, but have they followed up with action? If your workplace hasn't, Latesha is coming to you with strategies that will help you keep your company accountable and giving them actionable steps to opening the hiring process to more minority candidates. If you don't have an ERG (Employee Resource Group), Latesha talks about what it is and how it helps.   It continues to be a difficult time for minorities in the workplace with violence against Black, Brown and Yellow bodies regularly in the media and online. Latesha opens the episode with her thoughts on how we can be at our best, but also prioritize our own self care first.
