How did you become a Wall Street Journal Best Seller?

In this week’s episode, Dee and I talk about how many people are genuinely happy and excited that I am now a Wall Street Journal Best Seller. But some people are really baffled and confused.

In fact one person asked: How did that happen?

Another person said: Wow. Really?

We talk about the difference between excitement and complete shock, and how some individuals are surprised when people who look like us exceed expectations. Should we be surprised when someone exceeds expectations? Or is there bias we should unpack there?

Join us to find out more as we spill the tea, share the rest of the details of this story, and help you navigate this workplace situation.

As always, you have a standing invitation to join us at the Brown Table Talk Podcast. Take a listen to this episode and share it with someone who needs to hear a different perspective.

Because change requires tough conversations. Tough conversations like these.? And we can’t change what we won’t discuss.

With Much Love and Gratitude, Mita & Dee

PS- I am now an author! If you love Brown Table Talk, you will love my new book “Reimagine Inclusion: Debunking 13 Myths to Transform Your Workplace.” It’s now a Wall Street Journal and USA Today Best Seller. Because I am saying all the quiet parts out loud of what holds us back from making our organizations more inclusive.?

Order my book now: Reimagine Inclusion: Debunking 13 Myths to Transform Your Workplace by Mita Mallick Mita Mallick is a corporate change-maker with a track record of transforming businesses. Her passion for inclusive storytelling led her to become a Chief Diversity Officer, to build end to end inclusion ecosystems across big and small organizations. In her first book "Reimagine Inclusion: Debunking 13 Myths to Transform Your Workplace" Mita is saying all the quiet parts out loud of what holds us back from making meaningful progress in this work.?

Some of her myths include: "I am all for diverse talent. As long as they are good." and "Of course we support women. We just extended maternity leave" and "These DEI efforts don’t benefit me. My voice as a white man doesn’t count anymore." Each myth opens with a powerful story and then she leaves us with practical and actionable advice and tips on how to show up differently to work. It's a must have resource for anyone invested in building more inclusive cultures.
