YOU

ARe The Change

​

"In a corporate environment.... drama pays you nothing!"

​

Hard work.

Maybe a bit of blood, sweat, and tears is what it took to earn your degree.

Upon entering the workforce, the excitement and drive you had (and still have) to succeed felt immeasurable. However, there were just a few things that college didn’t exactly prepare you for.

• Like the disparity and lack of diversity in leadership.

• Or the complex, and sometimes turbulent relationship between women of color on the job. 

• Or even the essential tools it actually takes to earn a promotion in a competitive field. 

​

This shared observation, coupled with a chance encounter of 2 conflicted employees turned into a leadership development conference created for African American women of all career professions. 

​

Coins over Gossip is committed to encouraging minority women to develop a leadership mindset, while creating opportunity for growth. We help African American career professionals learn how to avoid drama and gossip in the workplace and instead, discover how to manage work relationships, as well as how to negotiate a fair salary. We also work to fill the void and sometimes loneliness that can accompany leadership positions through networking and sharing resources and talents, with the end goal of inspiring personal greatness. 
​

Discussion Topics include:​

• Identifying challenges African American women face to advance in their careers and how to overcome those challenges.

• Steps to take now to prepare for a future in leadership

• Blending Passion & Coins

• Finance: How to manage your coin expectations while negotiating a fair salary 

​
