You Don't Need More Authenticity at Work with Jodi-Ann Burey

As a speaker and writer who works at the intersections of race, culture, and health equity, Jodi-Ann Burey’s mission is to disrupt “business as usual” to achieve social change. Whether she’s interrogating authenticity at work or exploring systemic bias as the root of imposter syndrome, her critical lens focuses on how things came to be by examining the systems of oppression that construct the choices we make and how we see the world.  In this episode, Jodi-Ann shares her continuous learning and process of shaking up traditional narratives about racism at work. She also offers a deeper look into the language around describing ourselves within the workplace, navigating the very real impact racism can have on our health, and being aware of the constructs that work against us in the corporate world.  We also talk about: Her relationship with imposter syndrome and why she rejects it Dr. Kecia Thomas’ ‘pet to threat’ theory Why we’re constantly fighting our socialization at work Why you don’t need to be more authentic  Redefining professionalism  How to protect your energy in the workplace Connect with us after the show at https://wellnessglowup.com/ (wellnessglowup.com!)
