You need boundaries that feed your strengths and maximize your ability to perform – not compromise them.
Let’s begin the journey to a happier, healthier workplace.
Setting boundaries in the workplace is the most freeing act you can do.
But for women of color in a predominantly white work environment, there is a level of difficulty that comes with the territory. Often, fear takes precedence and makes you give in instead of rocking the boat, leading to frustration and burnout. It’s not uncommon to burden yourself with thoughts like…
What will happen if I don’t participate?
Will my colleagues and leadership team label me as “antisocial” or “difficult” if I decline?
How can I position myself as a leader without saying “yes” to everything?
When you set boundaries in the workplace, you directly and indirectly:
Remind others - even leadership - that they cannot take advantage of you
Set the tone for how you want others to treat you
Prioritize your mental health and wellness
Ditch the need to people please
Curate the experience and the career you desire
Reaffirm your power as a qualified, valuable woman of color
