On this episode I sit down with Cydney Peyton Walton. Cydney is a Marketing Communications executive, in the Virginia/D.C. area.  She and I discuss her career journey, having mentors, diversity and inclusion, negotiation, and many other things. This discussion is framed around her talk, “Babysitting to the Boardroom”.

Here are the Babysitting to the boardroom 5 points:

  • The Amy Cuddy Effect: Posture makes perfect *Power posing
  • Communication Skills: Arrive prepared but not rehearsed
  • Relentless Optimism: Seeing the bright side in every challenge
  • All the Feels: Empathy as a leadership skill
  • Always be learning: Gaining skills and experience from traditional and unlikely places

*I didn’t know when this was recorded, that I would end up hosting an event for Jacqueline Twillie’s book launch, “Don’t leave Money on the Table!”, on Black Women’s Equal Pay Day! If you are in the Dallas area, make sure you come out on August 22nd, to The Riveter. There will be a panel discussion on negotiation (I'll be moderating) and more. Go to blackwomensequalpayday.eventbrite.com for more information and tickets.
