Palmer—award-winning and Amazon #1 bestselling author, speaker, corporate strategist, editor, media entrepreneur, Founder & CEO of Delnic Media, and creator of Black Womaning in Corporate America®—for an insightful leadership conversation about navigating the rules that nobody explains. Nicole has spent nearly three decades navigating what she describes as “boardrooms, bias, and bureaucracy.” Today, she is transforming those experiences into strategies, stories, and platforms designed to help others navigate their careers with greater awareness, agency, and authenticity. Her philosophy is powerfully simple: “I write about the rules nobody explains.” 📚 THE BOOK We will dedicate a special segment to Nicole’s award-winning, Amazon #1 bestselling book: Playing the Game While Black Womaning in Corporate America™: Your Ultimate Playbook in Navigating Power, Perception, and Prejudice in the Workplace This isn't simply a conversation about surviving corporate America. We are going deeper: How do you understand the game, navigate the unwritten rules, advance your career—and still remain authentically YOU? ✨ WHAT YOU WILL LEARN… ✨ Why outstanding performance alone may not be enough to advance your career. ✨ How to recognize and navigate the unwritten rules of corporate America. ✨ How power, perception, and prejudice can influence careers, opportunities, and leadership. ✨ How to understand organizational politics without compromising your integrity. ✨ Why relationships, sponsorship, visibility, and social capital matter. ✨ How to navigate bias strategically without internalizing it. ✨ How to protect both your peace and your paycheck. ✨ How leaders can make the unwritten rules more transparent and create workplaces where talented people can truly thrive. ✨ How Nicole transformed decades of corporate lessons into an award-winning book, media platform, and entrepreneurial mission. And one question I especially look forward to asking Nicole: “How do we learn to play the game—and even win the game—without losing ourselves in the process?” 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION! 🗺️ Where are you tuning in from? Drop your city, region, or country in the comments! 🙏🏽 What is one thing you are grateful for today? 💬 Got a question about leadership, career advancement, workplace politics, power, perception, prejudice, publishing, or entrepreneurship for Nicole?
