Why do we keep getting minimized? This is the question Dee and I tackle in this week’s Brown Table Talk episode. There are times we allow others to minimize us in the workplace. Sometimes given the circumstances, we don’t have a choice. And there are other times we are experiencing a lack of self confidence, self doubt, and we end up minimizing ourselves.
Join us to find out more as we spill the tea 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 today.
Because change requires tough conversations. Tough conversations like these.? And we can’t change what we won’t discuss.

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.” 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.

3 个月I don't know if this fits under here. I work in the grocery field. In my department, dairy. I am often the only one working in my department via the schedule. I get dairy product to stock. If I don't hurry the job becomes very boring, same old same old. Yet if I hurry the others on duty in other departments are sorta lounging around in no rush. I have 2 back to back jobs like this. Same pace everyday. Pretty much same workload. Any suggestions?

9 个月In my most recent experience with wrongful termination from a state agency after making a report of workplace violence in which my civil rights were violated by my work colleague. I agree very much with the points addressed in this article. Although, I did not choose to leave the facility I was employed at and still have countless opportunities to continue with my work in the field of mental health. I am still very much dealing with the aftermath in the form of false allegations and further minimization by my perpetrator. Even with all of the appropriate agencies notified, it is a painful experience. Thank you for the invitation to "Brown Table Talk"! These articles are something I feel will help me as I move forward and continue my work with diverse client populations and the one closest to my heart, working a long side men and women overcoming domestic violence and sexual assault. ??

10 个月Absolutely so important. There’s a lot to be said for the exhaustion of never being on the receiving end of “the benefit of the doubt” or “having the potential”. Proving the proof is 4x the work, tired is an understatement.
