"The opportunity I feel in being the power of the Only is extending agency to those that should be in the room, but aren’t." - Alicin Reidy Williamson
What are you trying to shift and what is holding you back?
What is agency? Today I discuss this question with Alicin Reidy Williamson, Yahoo’s Chief Culture and Diversity Officer. Alicin says it’s all too easy for many of us to forget the power we already have and says it is important to remember and celebrate who we are.
"I didn't know where I wasn't supposed to be." - Alicin Reidy Williamson
Listen in to the lessons learned as she navigated a career in the entertainment, sports, fashion, political, and non-profit fields. Her ambition took her from MTV Networks to Managing Principal at the national public policy firm Raben Group and then the Chief Inclusion Officer at Endeavor.
We talk about her vision for her current role at Yahoo and how to harness our agency. We also discuss how to navigate difficult conversations, share advice for our younger selves, and explain how the diversity and inclusion sector is changing.
"I focus on relieving that burden in others." - Alicin Reidy Williamson
